Relaunch for Latitude Red
A YORKSHIRE office development has been given a new name and a new agent in a bit to attract tenants.
The Leeds office of property consultants Knight Frank has been appointed as the marketing agents for No.1 Leeds, a 122,000 sq ft office space formerly known as Latitude Red on Whitehall Road.
Knight Frank has replaced previous agents BNP Paribas Real Estate and Jones Lang LaSalle as sole agents on the building.
Knight Frank is now responsible for the letting of the property on behalf of owners IVG.
Matt Mason of IVG said: “We invest across the UK and have holdings in all main UK cities but this is our first purchase in Leeds. We own iconic buildings such The Gherkin and have developed throughout London and the UK.
“We have renamed the building No.1 Leeds, a bold claim, but one which we believe reflects the buildings advanced specification, superior build quality and prominent location fronting Whitehall Road.”
Guy Cooke of Knight Frank added: “We are delighted with this appointment. No.1 Leeds is one of the finest office buildings in the city centre, offering up to 122,000 sq ft in divisible floors of 15,500 sq ft, it is just nine minutes walk from Leeds train station.”
