The building was designed by the architecture firm ORMS and constructed to provide additional space for Capital One, who had previously moved into Trent House. Capital One moved into the building in 2002, but it was acquired by the city council in 2009 at a cost of £22.5 million, which was about a third of its valuation in 2001. The council moved into the building in 2010, relocating from a number of buildings scattered around Nottingham city centre.[1][2][3][4]
