French software firm secures new deal for city centre offices

A French software company has become the latest tenant to secure office space at the City Gate premises in Sheffield city centre.

Dassault Systèmes, which is a subsidiary of Dassault Group, has signed a five-year lease for 3,000 sq ft of office space.

Previously based on Peel Street, Broomhill, the move sees the business join current tenants including ARM Plc, OCLS, Hallam Medical and digital group Zoo.

Longmead Capital recently acquired the building, which comprises a triple height entrance foyer as well as open plan suites. City Gate offers full raised access floors, comfort cooling and heating, three high speed passenger lifts, on site car parking, on site shower facilities and secure cycle parking cages.

Two floors now remain available at the property, offering suites from 2,000 sq ft.

CPP and Knight Frank acted on behalf of the landlord and Colliers International acted on behalf of the Tenant.

Rob Darrington, partner at  property consultancy CPP, said: “Increasingly, we are seeing companies spanning the professional service, technology and creative industries committing to long-term leases that secure their city centre presence for the foreseeable; a trend which highlights a growing confidence in Sheffield as a good location in which to do business.

“City Gate has proved particularly popular with such organisations given its central location; providing good access to city centre facilities, strong public transport links, as well as excellent connectivity to major road networks.”

Joint agent Peter Whitely added: “Interest in the two, final remaining floors is gathering pace, and we are in active discussions with a number of business interested in securing the space.”
