Measures have been taken to incorporate energy and water efficient fittings throughout the building. The finished scheme benefits from excellent public transport links due to its city centre location.

Tony Doherty, MD of Tigercom commented; When we looked to relocate from our King Street premises, our aspiration was to find a building which aligned with our brand in relation to quality, a superb working environment for our staff and clients and a readily accessible location. Broad Gate delivered on all counts. It is by far and away the best quality space in Leeds, it helps us attract and retain the best quality talent and aligns seamlessly with our aspirational branding. Rachael Mann, Co-Founding Director of Sacco Mann commented; As an established force within the Legal Recruitment market, we deal with the highest quality legal candidates and clients in the UK. Our building absolutely had to reflect this. Broad Gate delivers the very highest quality space, stunning vistas, great break out areas and is a place we, and our clients, are genuinely proud to work in. These were the compelling reasons that we chose to relocate to Broad Gate.
