This 300,000 sq ft mixed use development comprises four floors of spectacular Grade A office space and an exclusive suite of penthouse offices together with four flagship retail units and provides a convenient and prominent location for businesses and retailers alike. Vast office floors of almost an acre apiece offer the largest floorplates available anywhere within central Leeds perfect for large headquarters accommodation. Designed for ultimate flexibility, the areas can also be easily subdivided if required. The enviable location creates a business destination with all the benefits of the city centre on its doorstep for the ultimate in staff convenience and amenity provision. The completion of this landmark scheme heralds a new dawn for the building that was originally designed in 1932 as Leeds first purpose built department store. The transformation of this historic building offers a unique opportunity to take some of the most remarkable space in the city centre.

4 Designed by award-winning architects FDG Fairhursts, Broad Gate delivers efficient, design-led contemporary office space to appeal to the modern occupier while at the same time acknowledging the building s heritage and original prestigious architecture. The design restores the external façade to its former glory and completes the original blueprint for the building using traditional Portland stone and brick. THE GRAND SCHEME The result is a truly unique building with superb prominence and stature that can offer occupiers impressive office accommodation that is flooded with natural light. The useable atrium within the building provides a spacious break out area with full Wi-Fi capabilities for occupiers to enjoy. Impressive curtain walling to the rear of the building offers a picturesque view over St John s Church, the oldest church in Leeds, and provides even more light for the immense floorplates. Central to the building on The Headrow is the main office entrance, an imposing double height frontage with 24 hour manned security.

As a result, fewer materials have had to be imported to the site resulting in a reduced resource and energy usage. Measures have been taken to incorporate energy and water efficient fittings throughout the building itself and the finished scheme benefits from excellent public transport links thanks to its city centre location. The development was awarded the National Bronze Award for its exceptional performance under the Considerate Constructors Scheme as well as a BREEAM Very Good rating.
