TOWN Centre Securities has let a suite at Wade House at the Merrion Centre to Optic Asset Management.
The deal leaves a single suite of less than 1,000 sq ft available in the building which is also home to Blacks Solicitors, The Princes Trust and the Consumer Credit Council.
Optic Asset Management is relocating its property management accounts department to the building from its current business park location at White Rose Office Park.
David Offen, of Optic Asset Management, said: “The move has been largely to facilitate a better, more central location. Wade House fits the bill and is ideal in its proximity to Leeds Centre and the transport networks.”
