International law firm Gowling WLG is moving into the fifth floor at Globe Point in Leeds on a long-term lease.
Relocating from Park Row in the city, Gowling WLG will occupy a 4,477 sq ft suite with a dedicated exterior 1,970 sq ft terrace. The company is the sixth tenant to sign up at the flat iron building in Temple Leeds.
The high-quality workspace and terrace, along with the building’s ESG credentials and ground floor amenity, event and food and drink space, attracted the global firm.
Julia Dacre Field, partner and Gowling WLG’s head of residential development in Leeds, said: “We are thrilled to have moved into Globe Point – the workspace and general amenities are outstanding, and in a fantastic location. Our plan has always been to ensure that we have the right permanent space for our team in Leeds and we look forward to delivering for our clients and pursuing further growth in the market from our new home.”
The company joins law firm, Reed Smith, brand design agency, Robot Foods, marketing and data science company, Jaywing, Specialist Computer Centres (SCC), part of the global Rigby Group, and Eleven, the 65-cover ground floor café bar.
Once fully occupied, Globe Point will be home to more than 450 people.
Antonia Martin Wright, director of commercial development at CEG, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Gowling WLG team to Globe Point. It is the first of our developments to complete within the Temple district of Leeds and has proved to be a huge success. Well located adjacent to the southern entrance of Leeds City Station, it has fast become a thriving business community, adding to the vibrancy of the area.”
Globe Point is being marketed by Fox Lloyd Jones (FLJ) and Knight Frank on behalf of CEG.
Cushman and Wakefield acted on behalf of Gowling WLG.
