Avenue HQ already has a similar site in Liverpool and the Leeds space is its second. It was originally due to open in August.
Shared work spaces - where individuals rent a desk and have access to office and social facilities - are already popular in London and the sector is now growing in regional cities.
Avenue HQ's CEO Matthew Kennedy said:
“People want a lifestyle, it’s not just 9-5 working anymore, and that’s what Avenue HQ offers. A lot of small businesses fail due to social isolation, our approach to co-working and community combats this directly.
