Current ground floor tenants include Pizza Express, Byron Burger and Card Factory, while the upper floors are let as a serviced office to Bracken Workspace.
Scott Griffiths, director of investment management at Glenbrook, said: “This opportunity fits with our strategy of acquiring good quality assets let off low rents, where fundamentals support the prospects for an asset management-led recovery.
"We were particularly attracted by the proximity to significant tenant amenity and Leeds’ major transport hubs, plus the architectural features of the building make it instantly recognisable.”
