Middlehaven Properties, a joint venture between Terrace Hill Group and Helmsley Group has let over 15,000 sq ft of office space to Hertel, the Middlesbrough based global industrial services company, at Hudson Quay 1, Manhattan Gate, Middlehaven in Middlesbrough.
Hertel, which provides support services and specialised products to international businesses, has taken one and a half floors at the development on a 15 year lease. The company, which employs 7,500 people worldwide, including 3,500 in the UK, is relocating its UK administrative HQ of 70 staff, from its traditional base at Middlesbrough, where it has operated since 1975. Fit out works will begin shortly, and the company is expected to move into Hudson Quay 1 in December, joining the Crown Prosecution Service, which occupies the remainder of the building.
Hudson Quay 1 itself comprises 30,700 sq ft of recently completed office space and is the first phase to be completed on the 200 acre Manhattan Gate site. When the development is completed, the site will consist of five office blocks, providing 142,500 sq ft of employment space. The completed buildings will sit in a superb landscaped arena on the waterside at Middlehaven, enjoy high car park ratios and easy access to both Darlington and Newcastle through the area⥵20AC%u2122s strong transport links.

Terrace Hill and joint venture partner, the Helmsley Group, are working with Tees Valley Regeneration, the organisation that promotes development opportunities and economic activity within the Tees Valley, on the development of the rest of the site.
The next phase to commence construction at the scheme will be Hudson Quay 2, a sister building to Hudson Quay 1. This modern glass building will offer views of the river to the front aspect and beautiful public art and landscaping to the rear. The building will be constructed over three floors with a large central atrium. A café bistro will link both Hudson Quay buildings.
