More businesses take on space at growing mixed use development
A pair of property deals have been secured at CEG’s Kirkstall Forge development, in Leeds.
Security, facilities management and site services business, Onsite UK, has taken Studio 3 at the scheme, while a worldwide cloud computing specialist is moving into Forge Studios 4.
Both studios provide 750 sq ft of space and are designed to help smaller businesses benefit from the facilities available, including a suite of meeting rooms, Butler’s café and informal business lounge, a concierge team and the Kirkstall railway station.
Mark Vasey, sales director at Onsite UK, said: “Having scoured the market for a suitable home for our office relocate, Kirkstall Forge was the best Grade A office space by far.
“It has a great community feel and offers far more than just a space to work in. With all the activities and events that take place, CEG has made it a really pleasant environment for all our staff.”
One studio remains available, offering space for up to 44 desks.
Paul Richardson, investment manager at CEG, said: “We are delighted to welcome new businesses to the Kirkstall Forge business community.
“The site continues to be a popular choice offering easy access by rail into Leeds, as well as on-site parking.
“The studios remain well-occupied with only one available and, as a result of their popularity, we have just launched additional studios at our Albion Street offices in Leeds City Centre.
“In addition to the Let Ready studio space, we also have a ground floor, self-contained office available as well.”
Number One Kirkstall Forge is now home to major Leeds occupiers including Zenith, Bupa and Mercedes Benz Vans.
CEG is also bringing forwards the next 200,000 sq ft office building, with an opportunity for occupiers to secure a pre let.
In addition to the Let Ready space, CEG has a ground floor 2,987 sq ft self-contained office available within Kirkstall Forge.
Ultimately, the £400m Kirkstall Forge scheme is set to become home to a mixed-use community comprising 1,050 new homes, 300,000 sq ft of offices and 100,000 sq ft of retail, leisure and community space.
