Lloyds Bank secures 124,000 sq ft at MEPC’s Wellington Place, Leeds

Lloyds Banking Group has signed up to 124,000 sq ft of brand new office space in Leeds at MEPC's 11 & 12 Wellington Place.

The building has been identified by Lloyds Bank as one of Yorkshire’s most energy efficient buildings, featuring an all-electric reversible air source heat pump system and air-cooled chillers to reduce fossil fuel use and mitigate operational carbon emissions.

It also includes triple-glazed windows, designed to minimise heat loss and maximise natural daylight. The building also generates some of its own electricity by using 7,500 sq ft of solar panels.

11 & 12 Wellington Place is designed to achieve a high in-use sustainability rating of NABERS 5* and to BREEAM Outstanding, the only building presently in the UK regions now complete and with both of these accreditations.

Lloyds’ staff are due to start moving into the site towards the end of 2023.

Jeff Pearey, Head of Office Agency UK Regions said, “We’re pleased to have acted for MEPC to secure Lloyds as a tenant, this is one of Leeds’ largest office lettings for a number of years. 11 & 12 Wellington Place offers high quality extremely sustainable office space which at the time of practical completion, all 235,000 sq ft of it was either let or under offer.”
