APSLEY HOUSE FULLY LET FOLLOWING TWO MAJOR OFFICE LETTINGS IN LEEDS

We have completed two significant lettings at Apsley House on Wellington Street in Leeds, bringing the landmark city centre office building to full occupancy.

Lantern Group has expanded and relocated its head office to occupy the entire third floor (10,360 sq ft), while adult education and training provider Aim2Learn has taken the whole first floor (14,340 sq ft). Together, the deals total 24,700 sq ft and complete the building’s occupier line-up alongside Accenture, Carter Towler, Image Sound and KVH Media.

Apsley House is a historic Grade II listed building in Leeds’ prime professional and business district. Originally designed at the turn of the 20th century by architect George Carson as a wholesale department store, the building has been carefully repurposed to provide high-quality contemporary office space. Its flexible, characterful environment continues to attract ambitious organisations to Leeds city centre.

Bruce Strachan, our Property Director, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Lantern Group and Aim2Learn to Apsley House and to see the building fully let. These lettings demonstrate the continued appeal of distinctive, well-located buildings in Leeds city centre and the important role they play in supporting growing businesses. Apsley House has developed a strong occupier community, and we are pleased to add two more dynamic organisations to that mix.”

Paul Mason, CEO of Lantern Group, added:
“Our new head office is a powerful statement about who we are and where we’re heading. As demand for our services grows, this flagship office gives us the platform to support more clients and continue building a business with a clear purpose and a bright future. Leeds has been central to our success, and we’re excited to deepen our presence in the city as we enter this next chapter.”

Stuart Littlewood, Managing Director of Aim2Learn, said:
“These are exciting times to expand our footprint in Leeds city centre. Apsley House offers a well-connected base in a thriving part of the city, and its accessibility by public transport is important for both our team and the people we support. It’s been good working with Pullans to secure a space that supports our team and future ambitions in the heart of the expanding Wellington Street corridor.”

Aim2Learn provides adult education and skills training, helping learners gain recognised qualifications and practical support with CV development and job applications. Its move to Apsley House strengthens the organisation’s presence in Leeds and supports its continued growth.
