2 Bond Court, one of the only speculative schemes to be completing in Leeds this year, has secured a pre-let deal to Costa Coffee.
Costa Coffee has agreed a deal for part of the ground floor retail element of Wilton Developments latest scheme.
Formally known as Midland House and previously occupied by HSBC, 2 Bond Court is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment and revitalisation programme, which will complete later this month.
James Scott of Wilton Developments comments: ‘We are really pleased to welcome such a high end coffee establishment into our scheme. Costa is a great operator who will bring a fantastic amenity to both future occupiers of 2 Bond Court and those located nearby.
“This new unit for Costa will benefit from a solid footfall through Bond Court generated by the traditional office core of the city and will be an important factor in the massive transformation that the building is undergoing.”
Caroline Midgley, Acquisitions Manager, at Costa adds: “The location, the quality of the refurbishment and potential trade made the deal an attractive proposition and we were naturally keen to secure the opportunity. Our new Costa at 2 Bond Court will follow in quick succession to our newly opened Briggate store and will go a long way to complement our existing nine stores across Leeds.”
James concludes: “The deal means one retail unit of around 1,085 sq ft remains on the ground floor which I’m confident will let quickly given the obvious draw that Costa will bring to the building; we are already talking to a number of interested parties.”
In addition to retail space 2 Bond Court will deliver 12,200 sq ft of quality grade A office accommodation over five floors, offering individual suites of 1,000 sq ft upwards. The development follows in quick succession to Wilton Developments BCO award winning 10 South Parade, Leeds which is now 85 per cent let within one year of practical completion.
DTZ and Knight Frank are joint agents on the office element of the scheme and Pudney Shuttleworth is appointed to market the ground floor retail accommodation.
