With sustainability at its heart, The Core has a 27m tall living wall, planted sedum roofs, a rainwater harvesting system, and bee hotels.
Clients based in The Core operate in sectors associated with addressing future city challenges and promoting digitally enabled sustainability. Occupiers are knowledge based and research led organisations. Examples of occupiers include: medical devices and apps; organisations creating and storing renewable energy; and, an organisation addressing the type 2 diabetes epidemic.

Health tech company Changing Health is a fantastic example of a dynamic start-up that was able to grow their team at The Core and then move to Helix’s neighbouring building, The Catalyst. The Helix offered a home for their whole journey. As Head of Operations, Gemma Johnson says, “This is the reason we wanted to call Newcastle Helix home. We take the view that the whole site is one big community.”
