Richard Dunn, partner in our office agency team talks about working as a leasing agent on Leeds City Centre’s Central Square.

“As this landmark £100m development nears practical completion, it is clear that Central Square is set to redefine what Grade A office accommodation looks like in Leeds City Centre.

In response to demand for quality, sustainable offices with large, flexible footplates, Central Square is delivering class-leading sustainability credentials with the largest floorplates in the city (25,000 sq ft²).

Along with eleven floors of office space, occupiers can enjoy an impressive ninth floor sky garden that has panoramic views of the city, and is a great spot for entertaining. Inside the ground floor atrium, a quality mix of bars, restaurants and shops, as well as a winter garden, will be open to the general public.

There’s still chance for occupiers to take space with approximately 125,000 sq ft of Grade A office space available. We’ve had a huge amount of interest and two pre-let deals including PwC, who have taken 50,000 sq ft on the 7th and 8th floors, and RSM who have taken 25,000 sq ft on the 5th floor. A further 17,000 sq ft of office space is also in solicitors’ hands.

It’s fantastic to work on such a cutting edge development as this level of quality is very rare outside of the capital – it’s a London office building located in the heart of Leeds.”

Central Square is an 11-storey, 220,000 sq ft building located on Wellington Street, and a two minute walk from Leeds train station. Earlier this year, we were appointed as joint leasing agent on Central Square, alongside JLL.
