First look at eco-friendly Leeds offices as part of £7m transformation
The owner of a Yorkshire office scheme has launched its first phase of eco-friendly offices as part of a £7m transformation.
Shelborn Asset Management, has completed its first phase of investment in the refurbishment of Millshaw Court in south Leeds.
The first 20,000 sq ft office space includes its own gym, showers, café and outdoor meeting areas.
Shelborn acquired the site from Barclays Bank, who had owned it for 25 years, in 2021 and rebranded as South Central.
Fleet tracking software and business solutions provider Inseego will be taking 5,000 sq ft of space this summer.
Comprising a total investment of over £7m, Shelborn is progressing with a second phase of works which will release a further 20,000 of the 90,000 sqft office building.
The new-look building, which features 22 EV charging points with capacity for more in the future, also includes new network technology to improve connectivity for occupiers.
Cycle facilities, onsite greenery to encourage local nature, rainwater harvesting and eco-friendly wash and shower rooms are also available.
Simon Hepple, director of office investor project management at CBRE, said: “We have created an exceptional community and social experience with large biodiverse gardens and landscaping with a mix of formal and informal meeting and breakout spaces.
“Energy costs have been significantly reduced for occupiers and electricity is supplied from renewable sources.”
