IT specialist Zenzero moves into historic Leeds building Concordia Works

The deal was struck by the Leeds office of Knight Frank

Growing IT support services firm Zenzero is moving into a prime office in Leeds city centre. The tech specialist has struck a deal to take 3,056 sq ft on the second floor of the historic Concordia Works, in a transaction overseen by the Leeds office of property consultancy Knight Frank.

Set over five floors, the 13,922 sq ft Concordia Work was built in the early 20th century. The former yarn and cord warehouse was refurbished by Boultbee Brooks with modern businesses in mind, whilst maintaining its existing structure and original period features. Zenzero will move into the building on a ten-year lease.

Louis Lawley-Adams, Zenzero’s strategy and business operations director, said: “Moving to Concordia Works marks an exciting new chapter for Zenzero. The space will provide the perfect setting for our staff to collaborate, innovate, and thrive, while supporting the continued growth of our business.

“We’re incredibly pleased to be part of this next step and look forward to everything this move will bring for our team, our customers, and the wider community.”

James Whicher of landlords Boultbee Brooks said: “We’re delighted to welcome our Zenzero to Concordia Works and to see this BCO award-winning Leeds office building continue to attract high-quality occupiers.

“It’s fantastic to see the building’s distinctive identity continuing to resonate with businesses. With only one floor now remaining before the building is fully let, this latest letting underlines the continued demand for high-quality, character workspace in Leeds. We wish the team every success in their new home and look forward to seeing them thrive here.”

The Zenzero letting comes after the arrival of software company PanIntelligence, which moved into Concordia Works last summer, taking the 3,036 sq ft third floor of the building on a five-year lease.

The other occupier at Concordia Works is Caldero on the ground and lower ground floors, with now only the newly refurbished first floor available to lease

Victoria Harris, associate in the office agency at Knight Frank in Leeds, added: “Concordia Works has excellent transport links with the property just moments away from Leeds City Station. The M1 and M621 motorways are only a five-minute drive away and two large multi-storey car parks are located 100 yards from the building’s front door.

“For those who prefer a greener mode of travel, riverside cycle paths run close to Concordia Works. By creating cutting-edge workspace in an attractive, historic setting, Boultbee Brooks have satisfied a pent-up need for trendy office space in the centre of Leeds. We expect significant interest in the remaining space in the building.”
