A historic Tyneside building with origins as a 1930s cinema and welfare facility for manufacturing workers during World War Two has been transformed into modern workspace.
The Picture House in Team Valley has been converted to offer new owners or tenants the chance to move into a quirky new office steeped in history. The building underwent a comprehensive refurbishment in 2006, transforming it into a detached, contemporary office space across two floors, while carefully preserving its architectural heritage.
It is now available to lease or to buy through JK Property Consultants, which said the building offers “an exceptional opportunity” for organisations looking for a prestigious and inspiring workspace.

“After its thoughtful refurbishment, it now offers flexible, high-quality space designed to meet the evolving needs of forward-thinking businesses. Whether a company is looking to lease or purchase, this building provides an ideal canvas to create a bespoke headquarters that aligns with brand values and operational requirements.
“With features aimed at helping businesses achieve net-zero carbon targets, it’s well placed to support long-term cost savings and corporate responsibility goals. We’re excited to offer this rare opportunity at Team Valley – one of the North East’s premier commercial hubs – where occupiers can benefit from vibrant surroundings, excellent amenities and seamless connectivity.”
The property has around approximately 11,000sq ft of office space with features including a reception area, open-plan offices, meeting rooms, a mezzanine floor and staff facilities.
