Oktra Delivers Double Eleven’s New Headquarters in Middlesbrough’s Boho X

Oktra has completed a new headquarters comprising 90,000 sq ft of space for Double Eleven, a premier video game developer and publisher based in the UK. The state-of-the-art facility is situated in Boho X, the newest addition to Middlesbrough’s vibrant Boho Zone, the heart of the Tees Valley’s digital and creative industries.

Double Eleven has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, expanding its team from 90 in 2020 to just shy of 400 today. Oktra partnered with the people-first games studio on a new landmark space needed to support this rapid growth and to continue fostering innovation and creativity within the team.

Oktra’s approach to the design and build of the new headquarters was centred around creating a space that not only supports the growth of Double Eleven but also enhances the wellbeing of its employees. Incorporating breakout spaces that feature natural elements, this project offers new amenities aimed at promoting a healthy work-life balance.

The design of the new headquarters also aims to serve as a hub for gaming professionals from both the local area and further afield, nurturing a culture of innovation and collaboration within the industry.

In recent years, Middlesbrough’s reputation has grown as a hub of digital tech innovation, particularly in games development and marketing tech. The city’s digital tech community, significantly influenced by Teesside University’s world-leading digital and graphic design courses, continues to thrive and evolve. The seven-storey Grade A Boho X is at the beating heart of the Tees Valley’s digital tech offer, making it the perfect location for Double Eleven’s new home.
