By GlobalDataCEG investment manager Paul Richardson said: “This next phase of development will bring some of the most advanced office space to Leeds.
“The buildings are available for pre-let, with workspace being offered through our Core and Flex model which allows a business to expand and contract within the space. This will help to manage company growth and additional projects, as well as seasonal demand and the effects that social distancing will have on office requirements.
“Our long term approach means we can not only offer this partnership approach to our customers, but also design for performance; delivering workspace that is sustainable, efficient, flexible, healthy, productive, digitally resilient and future-proofed.”
