Highways England has secured 15,861 sq ft of office space at 2 City Walk in Leeds on a ten-year lease.

Highways England will occupy part of the first and second floor of the landmark development, which provides a total of 64,000 sq ft of Grade A office accommodation in the South Bank area of Leeds.

The company plans to relocate from its current office Lateral in the city, later this year.

Sanderson Weatherall advised the landlord, Aegon Asset Management, alongside joint letting agent Knight Frank. Carter Jonas advised Highways England.

Jason Bedford, Highways England Designated Director said: “We’re delighted to agree a new lease for a new workspace in Leeds city centre which will provide a modern, flexible and agile environment to bring together our own teams and suppliers so we can maintain excellent levels of customer service, delivery and safety for our customers.”

Richard Dunn, head of agency at Sanderson Weatherall and letting agent at 2 City Walk added, “2 City Walk is a fantastic office building located in one of the city’s newest and most exciting destinations for business and leisure. Its proximity to the motorway network and railway station makes it an ideal base for Highways England”.

Richard Dunn, head of Agency at SW commented:

”This is the second letting of newly vacant space at the building this year, which is testament to its superb offering and appeal. I’m really pleased to have secured another quality tenant there on behalf of Aegon Asset Management.”
