Knight Frank (KF) has relocated its Leeds office from Park Place to the city centre.
Following a £7.5m refurbishment, KF has taken 9,200 sq ft over three floors, at nine Bond Court.
The 15-year lease from F&C Property Asset Management includes first floor offices, ground floor retail and basement space.
Knight Frank’s 54 staff have moved, marking the first time residential and commercial staff are in the same building.
Mike Dove, Partner in charge of the commercial property department in Leeds, said: “The growth of mixed-use developments means that our residential and commercial departments are working more closely together than ever and we are providing a comprehensive, one-stop shop service for our clients.”
Charles Calvert, Partner and Head of Knight Frank’s residential team in Leeds, said: “We have grown considerably and played a key role in shaping the regeneration of not only Leeds city centre, but on major projects along the M62 corridor.
Nine Bond Court is arranged over eleven storeys, plus ground and basement floors, totalling 70,000 sq ft sq ft prime Grade A office space.
The remaining space is available on a new lease basis, with quoting rents from £21.50 per sq ft.
