First chance to see inside revamped city centre premises

Property investor and car parking operator, Town Centre Securities (TCS), has released images of its rebranded 123 Albion Street office development which has the largest available floorplate in Leeds city centre.

Formerly called The Cube, the newly named 123 Albion Street is in the final stages of a comprehensive £5m refurbishment programme to deliver about 60,000 sq ft of Grade A offices into the city’s pipeline.

These offices will be arranged in suites from 8,000 sq ft upwards, including a 19,000 sq ft floorplate which will be the largest available to occupiers in the city centre.

123 Albion Street is on the edge of the recently defined ‘Innovation District’ of Leeds City Centre.

In addition to the 60,000 sq ft of prime office accommodation over three floors and an atrium reception currently being refurbished, the building includes 22,000 sq ft of ground floor retail space and ample parking.

The property is located next to TCS’s largest single asset, the Merrion Centre.

TCS has appointed the office agency teams at CBRE and Knight Frank as marketing agents for the new offices. Graham Interior Fit-Out is the main the contractor responsible for delivering the scheme, which is set to be completed in July 2020.

Edward Ziff, chairman and chief executive, TCS said: “Since we acquired 123 Albion Street as The Cube at the end of 2018, we have been formulating a masterplan to maximise the potential of this strategically located asset.

“We’re confident our investment into creating almost 60,000 sq ft of Grade A offices will be a welcome addition to the Leeds City Centre office pipeline.

“This location has so much to offer occupiers and we are delighted that despite the challenging backdrop across the globe the team are still on track to deliver the extensive refurbishment programme.

“It is a real opportunity to be able to bring the largest available floorplate in the city centre to market and we are excited to share these first images of how the building will look upon completion of the works.”
