Chartered surveyors make prestigious Leeds city centre move

A national firm of chartered surveyors has relocated its head office to new premises in Leeds city centre.

Eddisons has moved from Pennine House on Russell Street in Leeds, its base for over 35 years, to Toronto Square, in the heart of the city’s business district.

The firm has agreed a 10-year lease for nearly 10,000 sq ft of office space.

Eddisons vacated Pennine House following negotiations with BA Pension Fund, which has plans to redevelop the building for student accommodation.

CBRE and DTZ acted on behalf of property fund manager Highcross, owners of Toronto Square, a 90,000 sq ft BREAAM Excellent office building.

Richard Roe, managing director of Eddisons, said: “This is an important move, as part of the next phase of the company’s development.

“The new premises provide an exciting and positive working environment, along with additional space, for our expanding head count.”

Eddisons was established in 1884 and employs a team of over 200 staff, working from 11 offices across the UK and Ireland.
