"This is the first high quality speculative office development delivered in Derby city centre in the last 20 years so to be asked to carry out its construction was testament to our track record in delivering projects on this scale.

"Clegg Construction has been pleased to be involved in delivering a scheme which will deliver long-term economic and environmental benefits to the city."

The new building has been constructed to meet the latest and most demanding environmentally friendly and energy efficiency standards.

Clegg Construction was appointed by developer Lowbridge to carry out the first phase of Friar Gate Square which is part of the historic conservation area supported by regeneration funding.

The modern office development incorporates key environmentally friendly features including photovoltaic panels which will provide a significant amount of electricity recovery.

It has been built to meet the BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) excellent rating.
