Rileys breaks into Leeds with property deal

A Yorkshire-based city centre property company is continuing to refresh its leisure portfolio with a new letting to a national operator.

Town Centre Securities PLC (TCS) has secured a new 11,000sq ft lease with Rileys Sports Bars, at 123 Albion Street, in Leeds. 

The ground floor unit sits on one of the city’s busiest streets and follows the recent addition of Glee comedy club to TCS’s expanding leisure line-up.

The deal also marks Rileys’ first Yorkshire venue, adding to its 14 sites nationwide.

Bosses say the venue will offer snooker, pool, darts and more in a tech-enhanced social setting. 

Matthew Wright, associate director, estates at TCS, said: “We are pleased to welcome Rileys Sports Bars to 123 Albion Street, a location that offers outstanding visibility and footfall in the heart of Leeds. 

“This deal highlights our continued focus on securing high-quality occupiers that complement the wider portfolio and contribute to the vitality of our city centre holdings.”

Louise Larking, director at Fox Lloyd Jones, who acted on behalf of TCS, added: “This is a key letting for both TCS and the wider city centre. 

“Rileys is a well-known national brand with a strong offer that will significantly enhance Albion Street’s vibrancy and help drive footfall into this part of the city. 

“Having also acted on the recent adjoining Glee letting, it’s fantastic to see this cluster of high-quality leisure operators coming together to this prime location in Leeds.”
