Savills appointed by MEPC as leasing agents at Wellington Place

MEPC has appointed Savills to work alongside JLL to market the exciting new Grade A office space at Wellington Place, which is the most prominent office development in Leeds currently underway.

Wellington Place spans 14 plots including office, retail, leisure, hotel and residential use and will total 1.5 million sq ft (139,405 sq m) when complete.

Five new office buildings totalling 485,000 sq ft (45,057 sq m) have been built over the last six years. Last summer the GPU agreed a 25 year pre-let on 378,000 sq ft (35,117 sq m) at the development and will move in to buildings 7 & 8 in 2020. The most recently completed building, 3 Wellington Place, provides 115,880 sq ft (10,765 sq m) and is currently available to let.

Paul Fairhurst, director in the office agency team at Savills Leeds, comments: “We are delighted to have been appointed by MEPC to market the exceptional office space at Wellington Place. The development has transformed the surrounding area, creating a place for around 12,000 people to both work and live. The exemplar public realm, close proximity to the train station, the retail centre and the variety of companies already in occupation including Sky Betting and Gaming, Willis Towers Watson and Allianz, makes it attractive to a range of prospective tenants.”
