Completion reached at landmark seven-storey office development
CEG has completed its 37,800 sq ft seven-storey office development on Globe Road, marking the first new build office to be delivered in Leeds this year.
Globe Point provides workspace for over 400 people and its flat iron design offers views across the city from the roof terrace gardens. A ground floor café kitchen and business lounge will open in the autumn.
Marketing and data science agency, Jaywing, is taking the 6,437 sq ft third floor.
Antonia Martin Wright, head of investment at CEG, said: “Globe Point has been designed to deliver the highest quality workspace in a great location close to the station.
“It is the first of our developments to complete in the Temple district, and a first for Leeds this year.
“It is set to create a buzz in Temple and, as the numbers of people living and working in the area continues to grow, this will help to support the fantastic bars, restaurants and other amenities, including our events space partnership with Chow Down.”
Fox Lloyd Jones and Knight Frank are marketing the building on behalf of CEG.
Nick Salkeld, from Fox Lloyd Jones, said: “Globe Point is an exemplary landmark building at the gateway to Temple and sets the benchmark for the wider masterplan in Leeds’ most exciting district.
“It’s a market leading product which has responded to current day occupier needs and boasts best in class features including business lounge, café facilities.
“It’s added much needed Grade A supply to the market where occupier demand remains high particularly at the prime end.”
CEG has worked with specialist local consultants on the project. Sarah Dodsworth, founding partner of interior design consultancy Ekho Studio, said: “Globe Point is an interesting and unique project that will both fit with and elevate the surrounding area. It’s a special scheme, and one we’re really proud to be associated with.
“The ground floor building amenity has been designed as a community space, reflecting the diversity and energy that is synonymous within this vibrant city neighbourhood.
“Every design solution represents the commitment to delivering a sustainable and healthy end product.”
BAM Construction began the development in May 2021 on behalf of CEG. Simon Sutcliffe, construction director for BAM, added: “We’re happy to have completed Globe Point, it is a striking building and delivers the highest quality office space.
“This is the first of many of CEG’s developments in the Temple area and we look forward to starting the second office development in the near future.”
Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios is the architect for Globe Point. Amanda Whittington, partner, said: “The workplace and what tenants want is changing and this building has pre-empted this.
“Globe Point is part of a wider masterplan that is really going to revitalise and lift the area, and as one of the first buildings within the masterplan, its position at the head of the site creates a new landmark for the area.”
