Construction firm completes six-figure transformation of Ouseburn building

A building in Newcastle’s Ouseburn has been transformed into a commercial development.

MGM Construction has completed a six-figure renovation of the locally known ‘graffiti wall’, with leases now being signed and one business ready to move in.

Bosses say the Mailing Street project was one of their most remarkable renovations to date.

Ryan Gardiner, MGM Construction director said: “This project has breathed life into the building and transformed it into something really special.

“As a building, it is in a prime location – thousands pass it every weekend en route for food and drinks in the Ouseburn Valley.

“Since we completed the renovation there’s been an avalanche of interest from independent businesses hoping to occupy the units which are currently some of most sought-after spaces in Tyneside.

“We’ve even kept the unit’s original aesthetic, which allowed us to retain much of the building’s natural charm without just turning it into another box, as well as transforming the interior to make it suitable for almost any business to call home.

“There’s been interest from hospitality, retail and even art galleries, and having fitted the units to a white box standard, with the eventual occupants able to put their own unique stamp in their space.”
