Putting a team at the heart of a business location

By CEG, developers behind the £400m Kirkstall Forge scheme

Our exciting Let Ready concept is coming soon with our brand new Forge Studios, designed to respond to the modern-day occupier’s ‘flight to quality’ trend.

Businesses are involving their teams more and more in real estate decisions. A Management Today magazine revealed that 94% of employees regard their workplace as a symbol of whether or not they are valued.

Directors recognise that the right working environment delivers tangible benefits, from attracting and retaining the best talent to increasing productivity and inspiration. As a nationwide property investment company, we have been able to work directly with our customers to better understand the types of amenities, healthy building environments and collaborative space they need.

As a result, the Let Ready Forge Studios not only challenge traditional serviced office space with inclusive rents and flexible terms; but go far further to deliver an environment which will help smaller businesses thrive.

Beautifully designed workspace for teams of 8 to 32, fully furnished and ready-cabled so companies can move in and start work immediately, with the opportunity to grow with ease. Kirkstall Forge offers one of the highest quality and efficient office environments in the city and according to the British Council of Office is the UK’s best Commercial Workplace.  It also provides Forge Studios customers with unrivalled transport links, access to acres of woodland, green space and its waterfront setting, as well as a wealth of amenities and opportunities.

Sustainable, accessible and healthy

Connected to Leeds City Station in just six minutes, the dedicated on-site railway station also provides services to Bradford and connections onto Manchester and the Yorkshire Dales. Tailored travel guides, a car share scheme, cycle and scooter hire and EV charging points also add to the sustainability and staff wellbeing.

The riverside setting offers opportunities for walking, running, resting or taking a canalside walk to the parkland at the adjacent abbey; all proven to reduce stress, blood pressure levels, heart rates and increase productivity.

The dedicated Kirstall Forge Life team make the most of the high-quality shower facilities and cycle spa, providing running and cycling clubs, bootcamp and other events for our customers, all dedicated to health, networking and socialising.

Forge Studios customers will also benefit from the maximised daylight and river and woodland views Number One offers, within the most cost-effective business environment offering high efficiency LED lighting and even creating its own energy from an impressive solar array on the roof.

Unrivalled Facilities

In addition to each studio offering fully equipped internet ready workstations, beautifully furnished break-out space, modern kitchens and their own meeting rooms, Number One Kirkstall Forge also offers a variety of collaboration space from break-out pods in reception to Butlers café kitchen bar with free wi-fi throughout enabling the team to meet, chat, work, eat and drink in the space that best suits their daily needs.

However, it is the vision for the site that will also appeal; unique homes, cafés, bars, restaurants, a school, shops and a gym on the doorstep will bring to life a connected community with wellbeing at its heart.

A place to live, work, thrive and prosper; close to the city, yet filled with green space and light in this riverside setting and with Forge Studios, smaller businesses now have an opportunity to be part of this exciting story.
