Bruntwood begins 2010 with office lettings in Leeds

08 Mar 2010

Bruntwood, the commercial property company, has announced six new deals within their Leeds city centre office portfolio totaling 22,598 sq ft.

The most recent deal has been with Skills for Care who have taken 12,215 sq ft of Leeds office space at West Gate, which follows on from two deals at West One to RiskMetrics UK and David Smith Photography, who have taken 1,300 sq ft and 293 sq ft respectively.

Bruntwood's letting success also continues at its recently refurbished 14 King Street, where the company has agreed a further three new lettings with Maples & Calder for 5,307 sq ft, Hitchenor Wakeford for 2,323 sq ft and Healthcare Locums plc for 1,160 sq ft of offices in Leeds.

Craig Burrow, Bruntwood’s head of sales in Leeds, said: "We're delighted with the way we've performed in the first two months of this year. Our letting success is testament to, not only, the quality of product, value for money and flexibility we’re able to offer our customers, but also the level of customer service we’re able to provide at all of our buildings."

Looking forward to the rest of 2010, refurbishment works are now underway at Bruntwood's Hepworth Point property, which Leeds Metropolitan University is in the process of vacating.

Craig Burrow said: "Upon completion in the spring, Hepworth Point will provide ten floors of high specification, air conditioned, offices. Fundamentally, the building will be available on a floor by floor basis from 3,272 sq ft to 4,968 sq ft, but it also provides a rare opportunity for an occupier to acquire a self contained office building of 44,500 sq ft with secure basement car parking."
