About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
The Co.llective at Mackies Corner provides distinctive workspace in the heart of Sunderland, within a carefully restored Grade II listed landmark dating back to 1845. Its individually designed rooms suit creative businesses, independent professionals and small teams looking for a characterful city-centre base. Workspace options range from compact studios to larger rooms, with spaces designed to support both focused work and collaboration. Members have access to high-speed connectivity, shared breakout areas, private meeting spaces and comfortable zones for concentrating when the day calls for quieter work. The setting combines heritage architecture, period details and contemporary facilities with the energy of an independent business community. Communal areas have been curated with contributions from local artists, helping create an inspiring environment that feels more personal than a conventional office building. Alongside the workspaces, Mackies Corner brings together independent retailers, hospitality venues, wellbeing businesses and creative enterprises. That mix makes The Co.llective a welcoming choice for people who value community, local connections and the convenience of working in Sunderland city centre.
