New government hub in Portsmouth could bring with it job opportunities

No.1 The Goodsyard, part of a new development on Station Street, Portsmouth, is set to become the new location for HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). 

The state-of-the-art Portsmouth office will be a government hub and HMRC’s 14th regional centre.

An increase of more than 350 full time roles
It will accommodate approximately 1,250 HMRC and Marine Management Organisation (MMO) employees in the city, an increase of more than 350 full time roles.  

The development is ideally situated with excellent transport links being next to Portsmouth and Southsea railway station.

Harra: A high quality, modern and accessible working environment
Jim Harra, HMRC’s Chief Executive and First Permanent Secretary, said:  

“HMRC has a longstanding presence in Portsmouth. The new Portsmouth Regional Centre demonstrates our commitment to the area, its economy and our employees.

“No.1 The Goodsyard will deliver a high quality, modern and accessible working environment ensuring we are equipped to meet our customers’ and employees’ needs.”  

Staff to move over in late 2027
The new build will provide 5,534 m2 of office space, at the heart of a vibrant development in the city centre, and regenerate a site with a history of industrial and retail premises.

HMRC will own the building’s freehold and, together with the MMO, occupy the majority of the four-storey office. Staff are expected to move from Lynx House to No.1 The Goodsyard in late 2027.
