Stantec brings 140 colleagues together in refurbished Leeds city centre workspace

The recently refurbished 8,000 square foot office in 2 Whitehall Quay will be the new home for Stantec in Leeds as it continues to grow, offering colleagues and clients a “versatile” space for collaboration.

Following a period of growth and success in the region, Stantec, a provider of sustainable design and engineering services, is bringing 140 of its colleagues together in a new home in the heart of Leeds.

Around 140 colleagues from Stantec will soon be based in 2 Whitehall Quay, which is a short walk to the west of Leeds Railway Station within the city’s commercial core. The move will see the Stantec team relocating from their existing office at The Boulevard on Leeds Dock.

The office is on the fourth floor of the building and includes dynamic areas for collaboration all designed to meet the needs of a modern team working environment. The teams will use their new West Yorkshire base to build on their relationships with clients spanning the UK’s built environment, particularly in the water, transport, planning and development industries.

Ross Anderson, Stantec’s Yorkshire region water operations director, commented: “This new space has been designed with both colleague well-being and client collaboration in mind. We’re looking forward to hosting our industry-pioneering clients like Yorkshire Water in this new location.

“Our relationship with Yorkshire Water continues to go from strength to strength as we continue to work on ground-breaking projects in the region and this office expansion shows our long-term commitment to servicing the water sector in Yorkshire. We’ll be using this flexible workplace to further enhance integrated working in a fresh, modern city-centre office.”

Harriet Chapman, regional growth lead for North, at Stantec added: “Our new office at 2 Whitehall Quay provides accessible, flexible working arrangements, enabling us to continue to deliver exceptional projects and services for our clients while providing the flexibility to grow our Leeds presence.

“Following Stantec’s acquisition of Barton Willmore last year, our teams are quickly coming together throughout the UK, and this office grants us one central space to accommodate new team-members. We’re delighted to combine our creative and technical approaches to projects to deliver sustainable, resilient and connected places across the region.”

FLJ acted for APAM to let 2 Whitehall Quay and CBRE acted for Stantec. The building has been extensively renovated to deliver a dynamic and flexible workspace with riverside views. The office is particularly accessible by public transport, as well as by cycling and walking, helping meet Stantec’s sustainability requirements.
