The

the heart of Leeds’ financial district, Sovereign House offers premium Grade A
office accommodation ideal for Strativ Group.
“Following
the pandemic, we continue to see a flight to quality from businesses looking
for the best possible space to both attract and retain talent as people
continue to head back to the workplace. For this reason, we are already seeing
significant interest in the remaining available space”.

seeing across the portfolio and endorses our strategy of refurbishing
well-located offices in regional cities to offer tenants a high-spec work
