Leeds Corn Exchange seeks a flagship restaurant for its piazza

The iconic Leeds Corn Exchange, which originally opened on July 28th is in search of a flagship bar or restaurant in its impressive Piazza level.

The Grade I-listed building was designed by architect Cuthbert Brodrick, who also designed Leeds Town Hall, has undergone a major refurbishment.

In recent years, Leeds has seen an increasing emphasis on leisure and retail, with the Trinity Leeds shopping centre and 13.5k capacity First Direct Arena both opening in 2013 and the Victoria Gate development on site and due to open in 2016.

Simon Hall, director & head of pubs at Fleurets said: “Leeds Corn Exchange is one of Britain’s finest buildings. Leisure property specialists Fleurets are marketing the space with Joint Agents Adam Jennings & Associates.

“It holds a tremendous significance, both as an architectural masterpiece and a cultural icon. Its’ rare features and city centre position make The Piazza a unique venue ideal for a flagship restaurant venue and leisure experience.

“The Piazza level, with its 13,210 sq ft, can be made available for just one operator or can be subdivided into up to three areas with central seating area.”
