Unity Square – HMRC Building
Encon Associates were commissioned to out the BREEAM assessment for the Unity Square development, a state-of-the-art Grade A office building situated in Nottingham, near the city’s main train station.
The project, spanning 62,022 square meters, provides high-quality office space designed to accommodate around 4,000 full-time employees. This prestigious development is located on a 1.14-hectare site along Queensbridge Road.
Unity Square, the new headquarters for HMRC in Nottingham, is an iconic building designed with sustainability, energy efficiency, and modern work environments in mind. Its prime location near Nottingham’s train station makes it an ideal hub for employees commuting from across the region, offering excellent connectivity and minimizing the building’s overall carbon footprint.
The building was designed to provide a sustainable workspace that promotes employee well-being, collaboration, and productivity while integrating environmentally responsible technologies and practices.

In my capacity of a new homes developer ‘Fenwood Estates Limited’ I have been working with Encon for over 10 years now. For every new site Encon have designed a full landscape scheme ticking all of the relevant planning boxes, in previous times they supported Fenwood with the roll out of the Code for Sustainable Homes across our sites and in more recent times with the Ecology and Bio Net Gain elements that we require, they have conducted surveys, reports and calculations to support all of our planning applications. The team are amazing, easy to talk to, quick to react when required and cost effective to say the least. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Encon Associates to anyone in the industry, they certainly give a 5 star service as a minimal!
