Known as Boho 4, Gibson House, the property is situated on the corner of Gosford Street and Cleveland Street.
It was initially built for the National Provincial Bank and later transformed into a private members’ club in the 1930s. The building underwent another refurbishment in 2012, converting it into a business centre and rebranding it as Boho 4
Built in 1872, the Grade II-listed building has been renovated by Middlesbrough-based Green Lane Capital, run by brothers Andy and Chris Preston.
Estate agents Dodds Brown say Middlesbrough has become a ‘hotbed’ for the digital tech sector, in gaming, animation, ecommerce and VR’.
The sector is one of the fastest-growing in the UK, with over 8,000 people employed and a cluster of leading companies around the Boho zone.
Boho Four began life as the National Provincial Bank in the 19th Century.
