Insurance firm takes a further 2,077 sq ft at West One
A LEASE for a further 2,077 sq ft of office space has been signed by Fusion Insurance, part of Towergate Underwriting Group, at West One on Wellington Street in Leeds.
The five-year lease, advised by Knight Frank, will see Fusion Insurance expand from 3,499 sq ft occupancy to the entire 5,576 sq ft 10th floor of the building.
Matthew Wright, surveyor at Bruntwood in Leeds, commented on the expansion: “We are delighted that Fusion Insurance have decided to expand within West One. Having been a customer in the building for 10 years and expanding on a number of occasions, this is a further endorsement of our offer at West One.”
Fusion Insurance regional director Jon Hipkin said: “Our investment in the office demonstrates the strategic importance of the North East in the UK insurance market. The new office allows for future expansion as well as giving the staff a more practical and pleasant working environment.
“I would invite any customer who is in the vicinity of the office to visit the Fusion/Arista Team and see the office for themselves.”
Eamon Fox, partner with Knight Frank in Leeds, said: “This is an important Leeds city centre office deal, following on from their parent company Towergate who took 8,300 sq ft in the building towards the end of last year. West One is a flagship development in an increasingly attractive and popular area of the city.”
