Vastint UK has let 6,157 sq ft to law firm Devonshires at its 3 South Brook Street office building in Aire Park, Leeds.
The firm, which opened a Leeds office in 2017, is the first company to take space in the building.
The first two office buildings on South Brook Street provide 190,000 sq ft of Grade A space and when fully built out Aire Park’s new commercial district will offer 700,000 sq ft of new office space and 40,000 sq ft of retail space across seven buildings on Leeds’ South Bank.
Michael Cronin, head of portfolio at Vastint UK, said: “Today, occupants are looking for more than just great office space. To attract and retain talent, workplaces need to be vibrant destinations with real atmosphere and a sense of community. From our park to the new commercial space and our plans for the refurbishment of The Tetley building, our ambition has been to create something special at the heart of the South Bank. We’re thrilled that Devonshires has chosen to be part of this next chapter in Aire Park’s story and look forward to welcoming them to South Brook Street.”
Chris Drabble, co-head of Devonshires’ Leeds office, added: “We’re delighted to have secured our new home, expanding our footprint in enlarged office space in the city. The South Bank has long been due for redevelopment and Vastint’s vision for Aire Park is fantastic. It will inevitably become a thriving business hub, so we’re pleased to be a part of it from the outset, in what constitutes a vibrant working environment for our staff and our clients alike.”
