College signs at One Leeds City Office Park

Victoria College of Arts & Design has agreed to a 16-year lease on 26,960 sq ft at the building, acquired recently by David Samuel Properties.

Lambert Smith Hampton and JLL acted for the landlord, with VCAD unrepresented.

VCAD will take up space across the ground and part of the first floor, to be used for educational purposes.

One Leeds City Office Park offers office space over three main floors in a building that features a full height atrium, used for relaxation, informal meetings and collaboration.

There are 183 car parking spaces for the building.

VCAD has two campuses in London, and is also present in Manchester, where it recently expanded its orbit with a 20,000 sq ft deal.

David Samuel Properties, which bought the building from Credit Suisse, commented: “This letting represents an exciting milestone for One Leeds City Office Park and aligns with our vision of attracting premium occupiers to our portfolio.

“We’re delighted to welcome Victoria College of Art and Design to the building and are confident that its high-quality facilities and prime location will support their growth and success. We thank Lambert Smith Hampton for their work in securing this letting, which highlights the strong appeal of the property and its positioning within the Leeds market.”

Matt Procter, senior surveyor at LSH, added: “We’re pleased to have facilitated this important letting and to see One Leeds City Office Park attract top occupiers like Victoria College of Art and Design.

“The building’s high quality design, flexible layout and prime location highlights its appeal as one of the standout office spaces within Leeds.”
