The development of safety equipment specialist Arco’s new headquarters marked a major milestone in the £80m regeneration programme and was delivered together with a 350-space multi-storey car park.
The Arco building is the largest new-build office development for a dedicated user in Hull for more than half a century and provides an inspirational working environment for around 600 employees.
Dominic Gibbons, Managing Director of Wykeland Group, said:
“We’re delighted with this latest award for the regeneration of the Fruit Market, especially as it recognises the excellence of the Arco head office development.
“The development of Arco’s new head office and the multi-storey car park marked a major milestone in this long-term regeneration project, which is key to the long-term sustainability of Hull city centre.
“Arco now has a state-of-the-art working environment, perfect for the digital age and for retaining and recruiting talent. The development also has exceptional sustainability credentials, as it features the latest in smart energy-saving technology, EV charging points and over 50 cycle spaces, as well as a green ‘living wall’ to enhance biodiversity.”

As developers of the scheme, Wykeland Beal worked closely with Arco to deliver the £16m project for the new head office and adjoining multi-storey car park in a prime location in the regenerated urban village.
The 60,000 sq ft, five-storey building has a contemporary look and feel, with social meeting areas, a glass fronted atrium and an auditorium for staff and customer presentations.
Richard Beal, Chief Executive at Beal Homes, said:
“The development of Arco’s new head office secured the future in Hull of one of the region’s major employers and represented a major vote of confidence in the city.
“It has also been an exceptional example of partnership working with three local, family-owned businesses coming together to deliver one of Hull’s most prestigious developments in generations.”

This significant investment is just one of a series of commitments that we have made to support the city of Hull.
