Part of the Government Hub network, HMRC's state-of-the-art regional centre will be based at the new development and will accommodate approximately 9,000 staff from HMRC.
The Newcastle building will be the largest of HMRC's 13 regional centres, at 43,000m2 and marks an important step in the department’s wider transformation agenda.

The nine-storey city centre building will be part of a vibrant and attractive new development close to retail and leisure facilities, places to eat and open spaces. It is ten minutes from Newcastle Central Station and has excellent transport links.
Jim Harra, HMRC's Chief Executive and first Permanent Secretary, said: "HMRC has had a longstanding presence in Newcastle and the wider North East. Signing the lease for the new regional centre is a clear demonstration of our commitment to the area, its economy and our employees based in the North East.
"Pilgrim's Quarter will deliver the inclusive, flexible and collaborative working environment that meets the current and future needs of our colleagues while improving career development opportunities."
