Property firm is appointed letting agent for city landmark
Strategic property and construction advisor, Fox Lloyd Jones (FLJ), has been appointed as joint letting agents with CBRE for the One City Square office tower in Leeds.
The appointment is on behalf of Catella APAM, the asset manager for Britannia Invest A/S, and complements FLJ’s work on its other major city centre asset, 2 Whitehall Quay, where it recently recorded one of Leeds’ most significant lettings in 2024 to UK Infrastructure Bank.
One City Square’s current availability includes a refurbished sixth floor suite spanning 5,856 sq ft and the full fourth floor covering 10,000 sq ft of space to be refurbished later this year.
The building was built in 1998 and underwent a major upgrade in 2022 introducing amenities including a café, business lounge, meeting rooms and gym facilities.
FLJ’s appointment coincides with the firm celebrating its 20th anniversary year in business.
Nick Salkeld, director, said: “One City Square is regarded as the best address in Leeds and offers one of the most amenity-rich buildings in the city and is therefore hugely desirable to potential tenants and businesses operating across a wealth of sectors.
“To be appointed as joint agents on such a prestigious site pays testament to the team’s success in the Leeds office market.”
Paul Fox, director and co-founder, added: “We are immensely proud of the incredible journey we’ve been on over the last 20 years, made possible by our loyal clients and dedicated staff.
“To be appointed as joint agents on One City Square is evidence of our ongoing hard work and determination to deliver results for our clients.”
The One City Square appointment comes on the back of a number of notable new client instructions for FLJ in Yorkshire.
They include One Whitehall Quay on behalf of Consolidated Property Group, Rose Wharf for Caddick Developments, Wellington Plaza for Asset Capital, and Tileyard North on behalf of City & Provincial Properties – one of the few new office schemes to complete in Yorkshire this year.
Chalwe Silwizya, asset manager at Catella APAM, said: “We are thrilled to continue our successful partnership with Fox Lloyd Jones.
“The team’s expertise and dedication has been instrumental in securing significant lettings across our buildings and other schemes in the city.
“We’re confident their innovative approach and understanding of the Leeds market will help us attract and accommodate top-tier tenants at One City Square.”
