Department Leeds Dock to expand its second floor after sell-out success
Department Leeds Dock’s recent expansion of Level 2, the second floor of its existing building, has proved so successful that the company is now developing the rest of the floor to create an additional seven offices.
The first phase of the expansion, which will be complete this month, involved the creation of five new offices, and four have already been secured by local businesses including Cognisys, Climb UK and Marshall Wealth Management.
With just one 20-person office remaining, and to meet growing demand for its flexible, serviced offices and cutting-edge facilities, Department Leeds Dock will now develop Level 2 even further, taking the total number of offices on the floor to 13.
Alongside its individually designed offices, Level 2 also boasts a private 60-seat cinema, hot desks that can be rented by the day, meeting rooms, a content creators suite, podcast facilities, social areas including phone booths and an event space with a bar.
Speaking about the expansion of Level 2, Amy Matthams, area general manager of Department Leeds Dock, said: “Since the start of the year, we’ve received record levels of enquiries from local media, digital and creative businesses looking to join our community, which is why we’re excited to press ahead with the creation of further offices on Level 2.
“It’s a really exciting time for Department Leeds Dock and we’re looking forward to welcoming all our new members over the coming months and providing them with an inspiring base to work from.”
