City centre office building full following 76,000 sq ft of lettings

Central Square in Leeds city centre is now fully let after the completion of two lettings totalling 75,831 sq ft.

Link Market Services, a global share registry and financial services provider, has signed a fifteen-year lease for more than 70,000 sq ft across floors one, two, three and ten.

In addition, the final 5,126 sq ft space in the building has been taken by Crisp Thinking, which provides social media brand safety, and an existing tenant doubling its occupation at the office building.

The lease on the final available suite in the building was agreed for a ten-year term.

Completed by M&G Real Estate in September 2016, Central Square is a 217,810 sq ft office development in the centre of Leeds.

The building is the biggest speculative office building to ever open in the city and the occupier line-up includes PwC, Sky and BDO.

Sam Jones, asset manager of offices at M&G Real Estate, said: “Central Square delivered the prime office accommodation Leeds was lacking at the right time. The ongoing undersupply of top quality, Grade A office stock in key inner city locations is increasingly mismatched with a continued level of occupier demand and, as our recent UK Outlook research details, this is driving strong rental returns.

“Central Square is now fully let to a high calibre of occupiers, showcasing the draw of well-located and specified offices for businesses of all shapes and sizes.”

M&G Real Estate was advised by Sanderson Weatherall and JLL.
