Upgrade plans unveiled to future proof nearly 120,000 sq ft of office space

MEPC, the developer and asset manager behind Wellington Place in Leeds, has unveiled plans for an extensive refurbishment of 2 Wellington Place.

The plans will see 119,154 sq ft across seven floors of the Grade A office building upgraded to create an energy efficient office.

It will mean 2 Wellington Place will be future proofed with sustainability credentials including net zero in operational energy and a fully electric Mechanical and Electrical system.

Enhancements will be made to the entrance, with a refurbished reception leading to a stylish exclusive business lounge.

The building will also include changing facilities with 15 showers and 140 lockers, a cycle maintenance hub and 152 secure bike storage spaces.

Available for pre-let, work will begin in 2025 and will be completed in the summer 2026.

Miles Jones, development director at MEPC, said: “We’re passionate about constructing high-quality, industry leading office space that is at the forefront of sustainability and design.

“Alongside new build developments, retrofitting plays an extremely important part in creating buildings for the future.

“This is why we’re excited to be investing in one of the first buildings constructed at Wellington Place.

“2 Wellington Place will serve as a first-class example of successful, sustainable refurbishment.”
