Social enterprise Shine has put its Grade II listed 40,000 sq ft HQ in Leeds up for sale.
The former Harehills Middle School building, which stands on a one-acre site, has been converted into a conference, meeting and events centre by Shine.
The site includes an amphitheatre style garden, an allotment, parking for 55 cars, EV chargers and cycle-friendly infrastructure.
Dawn O’Keefe, managing director of Shine, said: “Shine has become a byword for inclusive entrepreneurship, community, and regeneration. What began as a bold £5m vision for a derelict building, is now a fabulous, high-spec health and education space in Harehills serving public, private, and third-sector businesses. Developed as the Gipton Board School in 1897, it continues to inspire today. Shine is thriving, but we know the building has more to offer and we believe someone with fresh ideas and commercial ambition can take it even further.”
Matt Jennings, director at Eddisons, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, added: “What the Shine team has built in Harehills is remarkable – a true destination that blends architectural beauty with commercial viability and community impact. There are very few opportunities like this in Leeds right now, and we’re already seeing interest from investors, operators, and institutions across sectors.”
