A derelict unit has been transformed following a six-figure refurbishment in an up-and-coming area of the North East

MGM Construction, one of the leading property refurbishment specialists in the North East, has transformed the building, locally known as ‘The Graffiti Wall’ in Ouseburn, Newcastle.

The site had been derelict for years before its transformation into a commercial unit.

Work on the building took more than ten months to complete, with logistics proving a particularly difficult obstacle to work around.

Director Ryan Garnier said: “The logistics involved were particularly challenging, especially given the location as there’s only one road in, and one out”

Since the revamp, MGM has reported interest from independent businesses hoping to occupy the space.

Ryan Garnier said: “There’s been an avalanche of interest from independent businesses hoping to occupy the units which are currently some of most sought-after spaces in Tyneside.”

He added: “As a building, it is in a prime location – thousands pass it every weekend en route for food and drinks in the Ouseburn Valley.”

After other successful projects across the North East including a £1.6 million refurbishment of Beamish Football Centre in County Durham, MGM Construction are excited for the possibilities ‘The Graffiti Wall’ has to offer.

He said: “This project has breathed life into the building and transformed it into something really special.”

He added: “I know it will help cement Ouseburn's reputation as one of the North East’s most special and unique neighbourhoods.”
