Orega has entered into a new 10-year management agreement to create high-quality flexible workspace and tenant amenity offerings at Broad Gate in Leeds. The new centre will open in Summer 2024.
Orega will operate 2,415m2 of newly refurbished flexible workspace to provide in the region of 400 workstations on the second floor of the building and will manage the building-wide amenity space on that floor.
Broad Gate is a landmark 27,871m2 mixed-use development located in the heart of Leeds city centre owned by NW UK Broadgate Limited and managed by HKIP.
Originally built in 1932, the building was restored in 2009 and finished to a high specification throughout, creating modern office space with unique design features such as an impressive double-height reception and a full-height atrium, overlooked by each of the office floors and crossed by elegant, glazed walkways. The building has the largest Grade ‘A’ office floor plates in Leeds together with penthouse office suites and flagship retail units, creating a vibrant place to work.
Orega’s new workspace is designed to be a modern, flexible base for the region’s professional and financial businesses, and will offer a large atrium space for all users, diverse working zones, and modern meeting rooms as well as secure parking for bikes and cars.
Ben Hutchen, Real Estate Director at Orega commented, “As one of the UK’s big-six regional cities, the demand for high-quality flexible space in Leeds is growing and that is reflected in the increase in desk pricing.”
Colliers were agents for NW UK Broadgate Limited.
Roddy Morrison, Director, Colliers said, “More than ever, modern Grade A office buildings require a high-quality flex offering, and identifying and working with the right partner is fundamentally important.
Eamon Fox, Partner, Knight Frank commented, “This strategic partnership with Orega aligns perfectly with the change in work style we are seeing and accommodating for. Broad Gate points to a future relationship with the office that is more fluid and flexible for our customers, both existing and new prospects.”
