Hull is becoming a professional powerhouse in the North, attracting talent and investment from across the region. Choosing the right office space in Hull places your business in a city that’s continually growing in confidence and capability. You want a workplace that supports how you work and reflects your identity, whilst giving your team a place they enjoy walking into each morning. With decades of experience, we at Allenby understand this need, which is why our newest space, Monocle, has been created to provide an answer for this.
Monocle is a brand-new Grade A office space in Hull. It sits next to Hull Paragon Interchange and the centre of the city. Monocle offers a range of studios, full floors and larger spaces suited to established teams and organisations looking for a high-quality, long-term base. Alongside private offices, Monocle also includes co-working areas, bookable meeting rooms, pods and shared facilities that support hybrid working patterns and give staff more choice in how they use the building. If you need a new office space in Hull, Monocle could be exactly what you need.
That being said, let’s break down what makes Monocle different and why you should consider it for the next stage of your business.
A Prime Location
Monocle is just a short walk from Hull Paragon Interchange, giving your team fast routes to York, Leeds, Manchester, and London. For those who drive in, you have quick access to the A63 and the M62. The A1079 gives a simple route towards both Beverley and York.
Monocle’s central location in the city also brings Hull’s best amenities close to your door. Humber Street, Paragon Arcade, Trinity Market, St. Stephens, the old town, and the wider city centre are all within walking distance. Daze Coffee House sits just downstairs, too, offering great lunch options and a popular spot for after-work drinks. With so much close by, planning your day becomes a lot easier for your team.
How is Monocle Designed Around Your Team?
Monocle blends luxury finishes with everyday practicality. The building has been developed to support the way teams work, with aesthetic and functional decisions based on comfort and how each space will actually be used.
Here are just a few of the features that can improve the day-to-day experience of your team.
Natural Light
The large windows across the building bring in an impressive amount of natural light. This creates a bright, open atmosphere from morning to late afternoon throughout the year.
Fresh Air Ventilation & Climate Control
Monocle includes a fresh air ventilation system that works with the air conditioning and heating. Not only will your team sit in a comfortable environment during hot summer days and cold winter mornings, but the constant flow of clean, filtered air can also help reduce allergens in the workspace. Better air quality often leads to fewer staff feeling run-down, which in turn can lower sickness-related absences and support a healthier, more energised team.
Designer Bathrooms
The premium, designer bathrooms in Monocle set the building apart from most offices in Hull. They have a hotel-style finish with high-quality fittings and a clean, modern look. People regularly comment on how unusually well-designed the space feels for an office, and these touches help to make staff feel valued, comfortable, and proud of their workplace, which improves their experience of working in the building each day.
On-Site Gymnasium
Monocle includes a gymnasium on site. The space has modern equipment, supplied by a local business Core Strength, which suits a range of training styles, along with hotel-style showering facilities that help staff freshen up before heading to their desks. Team members can train before work, during lunch, or after a long meeting. Not only does an on-site gymnasium help with staff wellbeing, but it also reduces the need for a separate membership elsewhere.
For businesses looking for an office space that helps with both retention and culture. A gymnasium inside the building does exactly that.
Daze Coffee House
The ground floor of Monocle is home to Daze Coffee House. The café is great for staff grabbing hot or cold beverages on the way into work, as well as meetings with colleagues or clients throughout the day.
Monocle blends work and social life in a shared space that is often lacking in other office spaces in Hull. Daze supports Monocle’s identity and helps create a professional community inside the building.
Thoughtful, Curated Furniture
At Monocle, we work with a local interior design company to curate every part of your office fit out. We look at how your team works and what you need from your layout, guiding you through choices for elements such as desks and chairs. Some businesses want open plan spaces that support group work. Others prefer a setup that gives staff more privacy.
We examine colour palettes, materials, and textures so your office feels cohesive. You get a calm and organised environment that reflects your brand and works well for team members who work on-site full-time.
This level of care and attention is hard to come by and sets Monocle apart from more dated office spaces in Hull.
Private, Bookable Meeting Rooms
Monocle includes three bookable private meeting rooms, with a number of rooms having video conferencing tech built in to support smoother, more natural remote calls and hybrid meetings.
The wider building layout also helps hybrid teams stay productive, even when part of your team works off-site. The mix of quiet working areas, open spaces, and meeting rooms gives flexible support for day-to-day tasks. If you need state-of-the-art offices in Hull that support hybrid and remote working, Monocle offers a reliable setup.
Space Options for Every Stage of Growth
Monocle has one of the most varied ranges of office sizes in Hull, with spaces suitable for teams from 2 up to 300 people. Very few offices in Hull offer this broad range. If you need a small studio or a full floor, you can choose a layout that suits you. Monocle is flexible for long-term planning, so you can grow inside the building rather than move every few years.
Small Studios
You can start with a 4-desk studio. These spaces feel ideal for start-ups or growing businesses taking their first step into a premium office space in Hull.
Mid-Size Offices
If your team sits between 10 and 60 desks, you can choose from a number of mid-sized layouts across the building. You also have the option of a full turn key package, giving you a fully designed and fitted workspace rather than an off-the-shelf layout.
Full Floors
Monocle also offers floors that can accommodate more than 100 desks. These spaces can be customised to suit your preferred layout, including a full turn key solution, giving you room to scale without needing to relocate.
The Surrounding Professional Community
Hull is recognised as a core city within the Northern Powerhouse initiative, and by moving your team to Monocle, you are placing your business in the centre of the city’s professional community. The building is attracting attention from ambitious start-ups, larger firms, creative agencies, and tech businesses. This mix includes the city’s growing creative scene as well as its established corporate sectors. Being part of this environment helps your team connect with people who share similar goals and gives you more chances to build useful relationships.
Value for Money Compared to Other Northern Cities
If you want premium office space in Hull that offers clear value for money, Monocle stands out.
Leeds and Manchester often charge far more for the same grade of space. Monocle gives you Grade A quality without the cost of those larger cities. Hull remains one of the most affordable places to live and work in the North. This helps with staff retention, as your team can enjoy a good quality of life without struggling with high rent or long commutes.
