"Northspring is centrally located, making it more convenient for our associates and clients to collaborate in person, enabling the continued development of innovative solutions for NHS trusts and integrated care systems."

Property firm Avison Young is letting agency for the building.

Altera Healthcare (IT) UK joins other recent lettings at Northspring including Caddick Construction, developer Muse and civil engineering firm McLaughlin & Harvey.

Northspring is the new name for 31 Temple Street which was the home of law firm Irwin Mitchell for many years until it relocated to The Colmore Building in 2020.

Since it vacated, the building has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment programme to create 23 separate office suites alongside new facilities for tenants such as a business lounge, a screening room, podcast studio and private booths for video calls.
