Leeds' Knight Frank team advises on city centre's biggest office tower building

Knight Frank’s Leeds office has advised on a significant letting at Pinnacle Leeds, the city centre’s tallest office tower.

HR Solutions Partner, The Adecco Group UK&I, has taken 5,100 sq ft of office space on the 11th floor of the newly-refurbished building on a 10-year lease.

Sam Jamieson, of Knight Frank’s office agency team in Leeds, who acted for the landlord Brockton Capital and Dunedin, said: “We are very pleased to have concluded this deal at one of the city’s most popular office buildings.

“Prominently located at the heart of Leeds city centre on Albion Street, the Pinnacle is a landmark building, located between the city’s historic and retail quarters.

“The building has undergone a unique refurbishment with a new reception and offers high-quality, flexible suites and open plan office. We are delighted to have advised Brockton in one of the most significant deals in the Albion Street corridor this year.”

Brockton Capital, advised by Knight Frank’s Leeds office, acquired The Pinnacle, a flagship 145,000 sq ft, mixed-use asset, for around £65m in April 2018.

James Spencer, principal at Brockton Capital, added: “The Adecco Group UK&I’s decision to take space in The Pinnacle is testament to the quality of the offering.

“This impressive 15-storey office tower is surrounded by some of the city’s finest bars, restaurants and high street retail stores, making it ideally placed to attract and retain the best talent.”

Among other Pinnacle office occupiers are Regus, Barnett Waddingham LLP, Schlumberger, Steer Davis Gleave and Blue Fin Insurance.
