The commercial property specialist, based at Four Riggs, has transformed its Darlington base into an energy-efficient workplace designed to support future expansion.
Lola McEvoy, MP for Darlington, said: “Our town is filled with excellent SMEs doing everything right.
During her visit, Ms McEvoy toured the building, learned about the company’s recent projects, and presented Kyle Sugars with his certificate marking the successful completion of his joinery apprenticeship.
“It was a joy to meet Kyle and present him with his apprenticeship certificate. I’m determined that when public money comes into our area, our SMEs have every opportunity to win the contracts.
“For too long SMEs have struggled to compete and this Government are determined to change that.”
Jonathan Carter, Director of 186 Property Solutions, said: “This building represents what we are doing across the country, retrofitting, remodelling, and reshaping existing buildings to give them a new and revitalised lease of life.
“It’s an investment that provides our expanding team with a more comfortable and productive working environment, and most importantly, it allows us to remain rooted in Darlington.”
The company is seeing a rise in enquiries concerning commercial buildings, including offices, retail, leisure, industrial, and healthcare.
186 Property Solutions is becoming increasingly involved in upgrading schools across the North East and Yorkshire.
Although headquartered in Darlington, the business delivers projects across the UK and operates an office in Berkshire to serve clients in London and the South East.
The refurbished HQ includes new flooring, heating systems, a modern boardroom, expanded office space, and upgraded kitchen and welfare facilities.
The Four Riggs building, once a fruit and nut warehouse operated by JL Moore, has been fully modernised since its acquisition in 2020.
The company specialises in commercial property refurbishments, retrofits, and upgrades, providing tailored solutions to organisations across the UK.
