Extensive refurbishment complete at historic city centre property

More than a £1m worth of refurbishment works have been completed at the Grade II listed St Albion’s building, in Leeds city centre.

St Albion’s, which dates back to 1868, is a former Victorian church institute building on the corner of Albion Place and Lands Lane.

Following the interior works by Manchester-based owners Glenbrook Investments, the 31,400 sq ft neo-Gothic building now offers 4,213-8,464 sq ft of contemporary Grade A office space.

The Leeds office of global property consultancy Knight Frank has been appointed to market the building.

Victoria Harris, associate with Knight Frank in Leeds, said: “St Albion’s is one of the most stunning buildings in Leeds city centre. The exterior has always been smart and distinctive, but the recent interior refurbishment has given the whole building a massive boost.

“The refurbishment has seen office reception area, basement, all communal areas and vacant offices comprehensively upgraded.

“The unique features of the building have now been revealed, creating a contemporary boutique style that is sympathetic to St Albion’s architecture and history. 

“St Albion’s now features four floors of exceptional and adaptable open-plan office space, with 4,213 sq ft available on the second floor and 4,251 sq ft on the third floor.”

The current occupiers of St Albion’s are Ten10 and Protocol, with the Flat Iron restaurant soon to open within the retail part of the building.
