Royal William YardPlymouth

A Plymouth landmark. Royal William Yard has been transformed into an exciting mixed-use development, a lovely waterside place to live, work and play. The dramatic view across the Plymouth Sound and the architectural fabric is the same as in the nineteenth century, but inside each building has been carefully restored and redeveloped into stunning homes and flexible commercial space. A thriving place of discovery – an ever-changing seascape, amazing architecture, secret gardens, a central green and new art with a public marina at its heart – there’s nowhere quite like the Yard!

A beautiful place to do business

Royal William Yard is quickly becoming a hub for business and leisure in Plymouth, offering stunning waterside commercial space within remarkable refurbished naval buildings. As with all Urban Splash projects, design is paramount. Everything beautiful about the original buildings has been restored – graceful lines, noble symmetry and the stunning original fabric – and then enhanced by our innovative, yet practical, approach to creating commercial space.

Well connected

Royal William Yard enjoys fantastic transport links with Plymouth, Devon and the rest of the UK. Just a convenient bus, bicycle or car journey from the centre of town or, if that kind of thing floats your boat, a short ferry ride from the Barbican. There’s plenty of on-site parking for both employees and visitors. Our Urban Splash on-site management team collaborates proactively with tenants to continually improve and perfect the infrastructure and profile of the Yard. We love this place, and we work hard to ensure you will continue to love it too.

Meet the neighbours

Having swiftly established itself as a destination for culture and dining, Royal William Yard is also redefining how Plymouth does business. You will be in fantastic company, joining a growing community of businesses; the Yard is home to over 40,000 sq ft of offices as well as galleries and restaurants like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage.

The BCO award winning office building, Mills Bakery is now 100% let to Bluestone 360, HLM Architects, Inteserve, Hoare Lea, Balfour Beatty, Ward William Associate, Remode, University of Plymouth, Positive Purchasing, Responsible Life and the Ministry of Defence.

Residence Two was only completed 4 months ago and it’s office space is now 73% let to small, up and coming creative businesses. Current tenants include: Onshore Media, Actuate Marketing, Altitude Design, Rame Architects, 51 Studios, Mutant Labs and Ocean Studios.

Guardhouse is now let to Lacey Hickey Architects who have recently taken occupation.

“ The yard occupies one of the best urban seafront locations in the West Country, and some of the most interesting buildings.” Daily Telegraph

Our newest office building New Cooperage

New Cooperage is a 2-storey Grade II Listed period property; a grand, gorgeous, Georgian building overlooking The Green at the heart of Royal William Yard. Upstairs, New Cooperage is just waiting to become an office headquarters with style and attitude. The results of our bold, yet sympathetic, refurbishment to a Grade A office specification has produced something we think is truly unique.

In addition to super flexible, open plan space with vaulted ceiling above and handy floor boxes below, New Cooperage features adjacent offices and facilities – such as funky WCs, shower rooms, kitchen and breakout area and open plan floor plates for modern working practices - as well as a truly impressive foyer and reception area for sole use. The whole place is fitted out with the latest in office infrastructure and specification, all delivered with our customary Urban Splash panache. It’s an unbeatable mash up of character and convenience in a modern professional working environment.

We’ve carefully designed the space to be completely flexible, with a number of options to capture a number of different flexible divisions from 6,000 sq ft to c.12,000 sq ft. Visibility and footfall is guaranteed with a frontage that can be seen as soon as you enter the gates of Royal William Yard – offering staff and visitors a prestigious approach to the building.

Meanwhile on the ground floor, 5,000 sq ft of retail and restaurant space has been snapped up by a range of retail and dining establishments. Current and forthcoming ground floor tenants include Le Vignoble, Envy Hair Design and Le Bistro Pierre. Details of the energy rating of the building can de downloaded here.

New Cooperage is something special and something unique, set in a place that simply gets better everyday. We’re enthused about the possibilities New Cooperage holds for a new business relocation and feel this move could be an ideal opportunity that shouldn’t be over looked. We would like to work closely with you to deliver the deal and space that works best for your company.

Company profile

About us In the beginning there were factories. And they weren’t working anymore. But we thought they were beautiful.

We wanted to get them working again. We thought that they’d make good places to live. We thought that we could make them amazing homes, with a bit of imagination and some top notch architecture. Just like other Europeans, we thought people would want to live in our cities, in buildings with a bit of soul.

We wanted inspirational spaces, amazing offices, independent retailers. We wanted to make places to work that were part of wider communities. We wanted to create spaces for a new generation to make something good. We wanted to make going to work as enjoyable as going home.

We’ve been doing it since 1993, first in Manchester and Liverpool, when a history graduate got together with an architect, an interior designer, a chartered surveyor and two builders. Now we’re doing it across the country.

We do things differently. It’s our focus on architecture, quality and genuine regeneration that drives us. We believe that every site is unique and deserves its own approach to maximise success. We only deliver the best of architecture and planning and we believe our track record is second to none.

Our business skills have been rewarded with the Property Entrepreneur of the Year Award, the National Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, the Regional Housebuilder of the Year and Manchester Evening News Business of the Year. And we were awarded the Royal Institute of British Architects prized ‘Client of the Year Award’ in 2002 - the only private sector developer to have received this honour.

In addition to these business and architecture awards, Urban Splash has won a number of Civic Trust and What House Awards for our commitment to regeneration and the public good.

We recognise the need to work in partnership to deliver an holistic approach to regeneration and have worked with local authorities, regeneration agencies and local communities to deliver successful schemes. This approach has been recognised by BURA with their Award for Best Practice for Concert Square in Liverpool and more recently with a Civic Trust Award for Partnership which was sponsored by English Partnerships.

In the last nineteen years, from a standing start and through the re-investment of profits Urban Splash have created over 3,000 new jobs,1,000 new homes, a million square feet of commercial space and won 312 awards.

We’re currently investing £1 billion in regeneration projects across the country including: Castlefield, Manchester; New Islington, the third Millennium Community at east Manchester; Altrincham, Cheshire; Ropewalks, Liverpool City Centre; Royal William Yard, Plymouth; Fort Dunlop, Birmingham; Lakeshore, Bristol; Lister Mills, Bradford and the Midland Hotel, Morecambe.
