Digital banking software firm takes Leeds city centre office building to full capacity

A Leeds city centre office building is now fully let following a final letting to a global digital banking software company.

Sandstone Technology has taken the 3,035 sq ft first floor of Concordia Works, which has undergone a £2m transformation.

Sandstone, which has relocated from the nearby Prospect House, are paying £25 per sq ft on a five-year lease, with a three-year break in a deal brokered by Knight Frank.

Richard Lewis, head of projects at Sandstone, said: “Our relocation to Concordia Works supports our rapid expansion in the UK on the back of winning some major deals with bank clients. The flexible office space is being fitted-out to our specification by Synchro Projects and will support our Agile software development practices with visual management aids, high-spec communications and plenty of break-out areas.”

Sam Jamieson, of Knight Frank’s office agency team in Leeds, added: “Sandstone are exactly the kind of successful, cutting-edge company that we believe are ideally suited to these magnificent offices.

“It is a striking endorsement of this iconic building that it is now completely full. It is home to some of the most exciting hi-tech, media and creative companies in the city, including Yonder Consulting, Caldero and Bark & Bite, the leading Yorkshire television and video company.”
