More tenants sign up for space on city’s South Bank

Strong demand is continuing for office space at the Marshall’s Mill and Round Foundry estate in Leeds, with two businesses renewing their leases, another expanding, and two new tenants arriving.

The newest arrivals, taking up 3,035 sq ft on the fourth floor of Marshall’s Mill, are digital marketing agency Flaunt Digital and Cumulus Management which will be occupying 1,722 sq ft of Marshall’s Court.

International IT and communications agency Whitespider, has added the fifth floor studio to its current lease, an additional 294 sq ft. Whitespider first took space at Marshall’s Mill in 2021, occupying 1,100 sq ft on the fourth floor.

Café Out of the Woods has renewed its 472 sq ft lease by signing a new 10-year contract.

A long-standing tenant in the Urban Village, the café first opened on Water Lane in December 2006 before doubling in size to include a second location at Granary Wharf in November 2010.

Global media agency MediaCom has also extended its lease for the next decade, retaining its 5,582 sq ft office on the second floor of Marshall’s Mill.

Paul Taylor, managing director at Creative Space Management, who oversaw some of the lettings said: “The surge in new tenants, expansions and 10-year leases shows businesses are growing and have confidence in this area, with only a limited number of units now remaining.

“Leeds South Bank is clearly a leading location for creative, independent, technology-based companies and it’s great to see the individual businesses succeed within this one community.”

Elizabeth Ridler, partner at Knight Frank and joint letting agent, said: “It’s incredibly positive that we have this continued demand for space in the area, especially as we look towards the comprehensive refurbishment of the former Round Foundry Media Centre which will provide suites from 3,500-28,000 sq ft.”
