Software company in major letting deal

SOFTWARE company Tekla has agreed terms on more than 20,000 sq ft of Grade A office space close to Leeds city centre, in what is believed to be the biggest out of town office letting in the area this year.
The firm which provides model-based software for construction, infrastructure and energy industries has signed a 10-year lease at Synergy 27 on Gelderd Road, close to junction 27 of the M62.
The Leeds office of chartered surveyors Eddisons sourced the accommodation and negotiated favourable terms on behalf of Tekla, a Trimble company, which is relocating from its existing offices in Morley to facilitate further expansion. Eddisons believes this is the biggest out of town office letting in the area this year.
Eddisons is also advising on the relocation and progressing all fit-out works and furniture procurement, through its building and project consultancy department.
Steven Jones, associate director at Eddisons said: “Due to our knowledge of the commercial marketplace our acquisition and tenant representation services are developing rapidly as demand for good quality stock in the Yorkshire region continues to out strip supply.”
DTZ acted on behalf of the landlord, Clugston.
