Seven firms move into Leeds’ Leeming Building

The Leeming Building in Leeds city centre has attracted seven businesses since undergoing a refurb earlier this year.

The scheme, which reopened its doors in April, welcomed PR agency Cream Consultancy, handmade coffee machine company LA Marzocco, recruitment firms Amsource Technology and Catalyst, design agencies Analogue and Common Room Design, and sports publisher Planet Sport.

A total of 70% of the space at The Leeming Building is now either let or under offer.

The refurbishment drew on Scandinavian influences and included a new reception area, communal break-out spaces and high-spec suites featuring LED lighting and air conditioning.

The Grade I-listed building was built in 1904, originally serving as traders’ offices for the Leeds City Markets.

WSB Property Consultants and Sanderson Weatherall, appointed by Development Managers TPS on behalf of Freshwater Group, acted on each of the deals.

Alex Jowett of WSB said: “The extensive take-up within the building highlights the unique opportunity this major part of Leeds history offers to businesses looking to occupy truly unique office space.

“The building has been re-designed to deliver creative workspace for creative thinkers. We believe we offer one of the most unique opportunities within the city for creative businesses.”

TPS director Mark Newton said: “We are delighted with the initial success we have achieved at The Leeming Building and that we are able to offer local businesses space within one of the city’s most significant and important architectural assets.”
