Unity Place will be the new Headquarters for Santander UK, as well as a future-forward visitor attraction, workplace, and leisure destination.
The opening will create more than 90 new jobs, and the building will see the bringing together of Santander’s head office plus ‘co-working facilities, creating a dynamic working environment whilst building on the local area’s range of public amenities.
Unity Place’s communal facilities will include retail outlets, health facilities, a community hall, and an auditorium for up to 300 guests. There will also be a dining facility complete with a sun terrace on level 7.
Restaurant Associates continues to evolve its foodservice offering and Unity Place will serve as an example of this.
From a technology perspective, Unity Place will house several unique innovations including a frictionless retail concept, digital restaurant, and the Unity Place app – all with the aim of providing a seamless and sleek customer experience.
Matt Thomas, Managing Director of Restaurant Associates, says of the partnership: “Aligned in ethos, we are delighted to be collaborating with Santander UK to develop this unique and dynamic venue which has community and innovation at the heart.
