Leeds Office Market Activity in the Leeds Office Market during 2015 exceeded industry expectations with overall city centre take-up being the second highest recorded annual total behind the record breaking year of 2013. Activity in Q4 2015 was particularly strong as reducing levels of supply were met with increased demand. In the Out of Town market, 98,490 sq ft of take-up was recorded in the last quarter of 2015 and the full year figure of 268,041 sq ft, was up 13 percent on 2014 (236,719 sq ft). Of the 23 deals to complete in the final quarter four deals were over 10,000 sq ft. Furthermore, a new out-of-town headline rent for an existing building of 18 per sq ft was set when Hain Daniels acquired 11,529 sq ft at Building 2100, Thorpe Park. The Leeds market is characterised by a back drop of steadily increasing deal sizes, improving headline rents and falling tenant incentive packages.
