New tenants boost for city offices

Blackrock Executive has moved into a 1,715 sq ft office on a five-year lease at Minerva House, in Leeds, while Iliad Solutions, which works with the world’s leading banks, retailers and card-payment schemes to test all components of electronic payment systems, has signed up for 2,037 sq ft on a five-year term.

An additional floor of the 58,000 sq ft building, based on East Parade, is under offer.

The office agency team at CB Richard Ellis acted on behalf of Evans Abstract in the two deals.

Other tenants include The Sports Council, Templeton LPA, JMP Consultants, Heath Lambert and Royal Bank of Scotland.

The building consultancy team at CB Richard Ellis recently refurbished the building’s common areas and the reception has also been updated.

Harlan Pollitt, property and development manager at Evans Abstract, said: “Since completion of the refurbishment, we have certainly witnessed an upsurge in activity levels and are delighted to have secured new tenants, with more deals close to completion.”
