Castle House is close to Wellington Place, which is the site of a planned new government office hub.

Is this the most radical office development in Leeds for a decade?Simon Lister, investment director at Savills Leeds, who oversaw the sale, said:

“We are delighted to have secured a sale of Castle House on behalf of our clients. Investment levels into Leeds offices have been very strong in the first half of the year, with a total of £175 million spent. We anticipate that this will be a record year for office investment in Leeds as investors seek enhanced returns underpinned by rental growth and the demand/supply dynamic within the city.”

The new owners typically invest in regeneration areas and niche sectors, and have also been involved in the refurbishment of 6EP on East Parade.
