The City is widely recognised as the UK’s main financial and business

services centre outside the City of London. This sector generates over

£13 billion every year with currently over 250,000 people employed.

The city region has the largest workforce outside of London and is the

fastest growing in the North of England. The working age population is

set to increase by 26% between 2006 and 2031 demonstrating the high

levels of growth expected. Over the last 20 years more jobs have been

created in Leeds than any other UK city outside of London. This trend is

to continue as Leeds will see the second largest increase in jobs in core

cities between 2013 and 2023.

Leeds is home to eight universities giving the largest concentration of

universities in Europe, producing some 36,000 graduates a year. Over

35% of the working population is educated to degree level and the

University of Leeds features in both the World and European rankings.

Leeds has seen significant inward investment in recent years with the

completion of Land Securities’ £350 million Trinity Leeds scheme, the

opening of Leeds City Council’s 13,500 capacity £60 million First Direct

Arena and Hammerson’s £150 million, 452,000 sq ft retail and leisure

scheme, Victoria Gate, anchored by John Lewis.

Most recently, Leeds’ highlight commercial transaction has been the

380,000 sq ft pre let of offices in Wellington Place to the Government

Property Unit Hub. This transaction is predicted to bring 6,000 civil

servants into Leeds City Centre by 2020 and is the largest pre-let

transaction outside London in the past 10 years.

8 CONNECTIVITY

Road

Leeds is strategically located approximately 312 km (195 miles)

north of London and 71 km (44 miles) north-east of Manchester.

The City has excellent road communications being located

just 6 miles (9.6 km) from the apex of the M1/M62 motorway

intersection, providing direct access to the east and west

coast conurbations. The A1 trunk road, connecting London with

Edinburgh, passes approximately 10 miles (16 km) to the east of

the City.

Rail

Leeds City station has undergone a modernisation programme

with the opening of the new £20 million south entrance

in January 2017. It is the third busiest rail station in the

UK outside of central London with an estimated 100,000

passengers using it daily. The Station provides direct rail

routes to national destinations and to London (Kings Cross)

with a normal fastest journey time of approximately 2 hours.

Air

Leeds Bradford International Airport is situated approximately

9 miles north of the City Centre providing international and

domestic flights to over 65 locations. The airport currently

caters for around 3.7 million passengers per annum (2016) and

this is forecast to expand to approximately 8 million passengers

by 2026. The airport has trebled in size since 1996 and its

continued expansion is a key factor in the development of the

Leeds economy. British Airways have recently opened four daily

flights to London.

HS2

The proposed HS2 line will be a fundamental driver of

economic growth for Leeds, increasing capacity and

reducing journey times to London to 82 minutes. The

proposed new platforms are set to adjoin the existing

station, creating the largest station in the North. HS2 is

forecast to deliver 19,700 potential new jobs and boost the

Leeds City Region economy by £7.8 billion a year.

exhibit growth characteristics with employment in Leeds forecast to grow by 10.4% over the next 10 years – higher than the rate

for the UK and core cities.

Growth in the financial and business services sector is expected to be 21% over the same period, consolidating Leeds’ ranking as

the largest centre for financial services outside London. The City is host to 20 FTSE 100 Company HQs and in excess of 30 national

and international Banks.

The emerging digital technology sector will be a key driver of this growth with initiatives such as the Digital Enterprise Programme

and Leeds’ selection as one of few UK “Gigabit Cities” attracting more inward investment. Leeds is at the forefront of the digital

revolution with BT, EE, Cable & Wireless and O2 all having a major presence in the region. The region is also home to the highest

concentration of internet and telecommunications providers in the UK.

Historically, Leeds occupational demand has been driven by

existing occupiers relocating and upgrading. More recently

we have seen notable examples of new entrants to Leeds and

occupiers choosing to expand as businesses seek to take

advantage of the high quality labour pool and comparatively

cheap occupational costs. Both PWC and Sky have taken an

additional space, 26,000 sq ft and 11,600 sq ft respectively

at Central Square, Equifax have relocated from Bradford

taking 19,784 sq ft at Wellington Place and Burberry have

taken 45,000 sq ft in 6 Queen Street on a rising rent from

£28.00 per sq ft to £30.00 per sq ft.

The flexible floor plates of Minerva House are ideally suited to the Leeds Market. In 2017, 41.7% of lettings were 5,500 sq ft or below. To highlight this, Minerva House has secured 6 open market lettings in the last 12 months.

The 10 year average for Leeds city centre is

536,000 sq ft with take-up in 2015 exceeding

680,000 sq ft. Whilst 2016 saw the effects of

the political and economic events with a more

subdued 430,000 sq ft. 2017 has seen the

highest take up on record with in excess of 1M

sq ft. Even without the Government Hub

pre-let at Wellington Place 2017 take up

exceeded the 5 and 10 year averages.
