Final office space at Leeds city centre's Capitol building hits the market

The last remaining, newly refurbished 10,500 sq ft of office space at Capitol office building in Leeds, has been launched to market.

The office space is the final Grade A accommodation at the city centre building, which is part of Evans Property Group’s ongoing £25m programme of works to regenerate the whole Bond Court area of Leeds.

The remaining 10,500 sq ft space within Capitol spans two floors, with key features including a modernisation of the reception area and new bi-folding doors opening onto a private landscaped balcony area.

The space can accommodate requirement sizes from 3,500 up to 10,500 sq ft and is being marketed by joint agents CBRE and JLL.

Evans is revitalising the Bond Court area, having already invested in the upgrading of Minerva and Capitol buildings to create over 50,000 sq ft of Grade A accommodation.

The new Dakota Deluxe hotel is the focal point of the Bond Court redevelopment, complemented by extensive public realm and sympathetic landscaping amounting to circa £1m, which has been undertaken with Leeds City Council.

One of Yorkshire’s largest law firms, hlw Keeble Hawson, has already leased the mezzanine floor at Capitol, with planning practice Quod North relocating its Leeds office into the building and the car information expert, CAP Automotive Ltd, expanding its Headquarter operations within the building.

Additionally, Minerva has also seen a host of lettings; discretionary investment manager, Standard Life Wealth, property firm BNP Paribas, global financial services company UBS and law firm Gateley have all joined the tenant line-up.

Existing occupier CDI AndersElite has also moved into a larger suite to facilitate the firm’s expansion plans.

Richard Bean, senior asset manager at Evans Property Group, said: “Following on from the success of the initial investment into Capitol, we are delighted to launch newly refurbished Grade A office accommodation into the market at a time in which we anticipate good occupier demand.

“This reinforces our commitment to the transformation of the Bond Court area, which is one of the most coveted locations in Leeds and is connecting the city’s traditional commercial district with a superb retail, leisure and hotel offering.”
