Trio of companies set to make move to 3 Wellington Place
3 Wellington Place, the latest building to be completed in the Leeds city centre development, has secured a hat-trick of new signings.
Mazars, Investec Wealth & Investment and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are all set to make the move to the Wellington Place scheme.
The three companies are collectively taking 87% of the total floor space within Number 3, all of which have been secured within the first six months of the building opening.
The first to make Wellington Place its new home is Investec Wealth & Investment, due to move in the fourth quarter of this year. The firm has acquired over 20,000 sq. ft. of BREAAM excellent rated office space, 60% larger than its current location.
The second of these signings is international accountancy and advisory firm, Mazars. Due to move into its new premises in November 2018, the firm will be able to house all of its 130 Leeds employees in one purpose-designed, modern space.
The third letting will see HMRC take 60,961 sq. ft. arranged across three floors. The fit out of the office space is due for completion in December 2018 and will accommodate around 1,000 civil servants.
The trio of new businesses will all benefit from on-site amenities at 3 Wellington Place, including a south facing roof terrace, basement parking, bike maintenance stations, free bike hire, electric vehicle charging points and shower/changing facilities, plus cafes and restaurants at ground level.
James Dipple, chief executive of MEPC, said: “3 Wellington Place is the best new building in Leeds, so it gives us great pleasure to welcome these three prestigious businesses to the development.
“The speed of the take up of such a large building within the first six months is a major milestone for the development, and really does demonstrate the broad appeal to forward looking companies of the scheme.”
With only 15,000 sq. ft of office and retail space remaining at 3 Wellington Place, the next focus for MEPC will now be on 4 Wellington Place, with plans currently being finalised and a ground-breaking date expected by the end of September 2018.
