The tower is currently being built and BT will occupy the entirety of it when it’s finished.
It will open its doors by the end of 2023.
Adam Varley, Development Director at SGI, commented: “BT Group’s letting is not only significant because it represents the largest single office letting in Sheffield for six years.
“It is also a long-term commitment to the city and a major vote of confidence for the regional economy
“It sends a strong message to any other businesses looking to locate in Sheffield that the city has strong credentials as a place to invest, recruit and grow.”
