Deal struck for space at town’s largest office development

Moda Living, a developer of purpose-built rental communities, has taken nearly 4,000 sq ft at Harrogate’s largest office scheme – Central House.

Property investment and development company, CEG, has agreed a five-year lease with Moda Living for the workspace.

Dan Brooks, director of Moda Living, said: “As a fast-growing company, we needed space which provides an inspiring, contemporary environment. Central House provides great facilities and a fantastic productive and healthy environment for the team.”

CEG has managed a £4m investment into Central House, delivering a new reception, common areas, café and courtyard, with break-out workspace offering free WiFi and plug in points.

Bookable meeting room, a cycle spa, showers, drying room and lockers are also provided for the building’s occupants.

Central House provides 167,822 sq ft of workspace. More than 85% of the building is already let to 13 businesses.

Robert Morton, investment manager at CEG, said: “We are happy to welcome Moda Living to the Central House business community.

“Our recent investment to reimagine the space has provided new facilities, as well as innovative spaces designed to encourage collaboration, where staff can eat, meet, drink and work in a modern environment.”

CEG has one of the largest office portfolios in Harrogate, offering more than 300,000 sq ft in the out-of-town, Central House, as well as in the town centre at The Exchange on Station Parade.
