Leeds letting set to strengthen city centre leisure scene

Property investment and development company Town Centre Securities PLC (TCS), has secured a major new leisure letting with national operator Rileys Sports Bars at 123 Albion Street, Leeds.

The deal sees Rileys take 11,000 sq ft of prominent ground floor space at the front of the building, delivering a high-profile presence in one of Leeds city centre’s busiest thoroughfares.

Following the recent addition of Glee comedy club, this latest letting forms part of TCS’s ongoing strategy to diversify and strengthen its mixed-use city centre portfolio, targeting experiential operators that bring energy and footfall to key locations.

Matthew Wright, associate director, estates at Town Centre Securities PLC, said: “We are pleased to welcome Rileys Sports Bars to 123 Albion Street, a location that offers outstanding visibility and footfall in the heart of Leeds. This deal highlights our continued focus on securing high-quality occupiers that complement the wider portfolio and contribute to the vitality of our city centre holdings.”

Louise Larking, director at Fox Lloyd Jones, who acted on behalf of TCS, added: “This is a key letting for both TCS and the wider city centre. Rileys is a well-known national brand with a strong offer that will significantly enhance Albion Street’s vibrancy and help drive footfall into this part of the city.

“Having also acted on the recent adjoining Glee letting, it’s fantastic to see this cluster of high-quality leisure operators coming together to this prime location in Leeds.”

The unit is currently being fitted out ahead of the venue’s official launch.
