WILTON Developments has secured a third pre-let at 10 South Parade, the first new speculative office development in Leeds city centre this year.
Xafinity Consulting, the employee benefits and pensions services provider, has taken a further 1,200 sq ft of office space at the Wilton Developments scheme in addition to 8,200 sq ft of office space leased in April this year.
The flagship Grade A+ development will be home to Xafinity Consulting’s regional headquarters, which was previously based at 9 South Parade.
This follows Wilton Developments recent pre-let of 3,200 sq ft of second floor office space to Odgers Berndtson, a leading worldwide firm of executive recruitment consultants.
10 South Parade, located in the heart of the city centre, is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment, re-build and revitalisation programme.
Jason Stowe, managing director of Wilton Developments, said: “When we announced the speculative scheme last year we said it reflected our confidence in Leeds and securing such early success is testament to this.”
Eamon Fox, associate director at DTZ, added: “Pre-letting has been virtually non-existent in the regional markets over the last two years, but in a positive move we have 35 per cent let the building at this early stage."
DTZ, Knight Frank and WSB are advising Wilton Developments on the scheme.
