Quorum Business Park is a large commercial property development located 4.5 miles north of Newcastle city centre. The park has been built on what was the North Tyneside Enterprise Zone until 2006. The site itself contains over 1 million square feet of commercial space (suitable for both office and retail), and is surrounded by nearly 50 acres of parklands. At the time of writing, there were 16 office buildings at the park, 7 of which were fully let. The remaining buildings offer office accommodation ranging from 500 to 104,000 square feet. Moreover, building Q16 offers office space on a per-desk basis.

In 2009 – 2010, a number of large companies began to move in, and to this date park tenants benefit from special incentives and support, such as the North East Investment Fund, North East Access to Finance, and the North East SME Innovation Programme. Quorum has also attracted an international pool of talent, as staff working at the park come from 65 countries.

This is an award-winning office development that has received two Business in the Community Awards, the 2011 RICS Award, and the 2013 North East Business Awards in the category of Corporate Responsibility and Environment.
