Housebuilder, Keepmoat has agreed a deal to let 6,682 sq ft of office space at South Central in Leeds following a comprehensive refurbishment at the green site.
CBRE’s Office Agency team, alongside joint agents Knight Frank, secured the letting at the reimagined workspace close to the White Rose Shopping Centre and imminent new White Rose train station. Keepmoat was represented by Avison Young.
South Central on Global Avenue has undergone a full renovation programme with the landlord, Merkino Limited focusing on improving amenities and sustainability as part of its investment at the site.
With more than 75,300 sq ft of office accommodation, occupiers are now benefiting from a new gym, shower facilities, business lounge and outdoor meeting space.
Keepmoat has agreed a 10 year deal on a suite within the building.
This latest letting is the third deal to complete following the restoration works, with existing tenants Aon and Inseego already in occupation.
Alex Hailey, Senior Director, CBRE, said: “South Central offers modern, stylish and welcoming sustainable workspace, which minimally impacts the environment – a key driver in occupier demands in the Leeds office market.
“This refurbished office space is appealing to occupiers seeking accommodation that attracts and retains the best talent. It’s in an excellent location on a spacious, leafy green site and has first class transport links, as well as the amenities of the nearby White Rose Shopping Centre.”
Chris Clingo, Interim Regional Managing Director at Keepmoat Yorkshire West, added: “I’m delighted to announce that Keepmoat has invested in a new office space for the Keepmoat Yorkshire West regional division.
“The new space for the team has greater commuter links and amenities nearby, plus it further fuels Keepmoat’s commitment to employees by providing them with a high-end place of work where they can thrive. By taking out a lease at South Central, we mark an exciting start to a new journey in a fantastic new space.”
