BAM will start work on the first 37,798ft² office development at Globe Point, comprising office space with ground floor break-out space, retail and leisure. It is designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios.
Globe Point is located in a new district in Leeds city centre, south of the River Aire, called Temple, which forms part of the South Bank Regeneration Area adjacent to Leeds trains station.
BAM North East regional director John Phillips said: “BAM is the ideal fit for CEG’s ingenious vision for Leeds. Being not only an historic company here, but also highly modern in our methods and collaborative in our approach, really matches the qualities of the building and its wider context.
