Yorkshire-based property developer Wykeland Group has purchased Elizabeth House, an office building located in Leeds city centre. The building, situated near Wellington Place and Leeds Railway Station, is currently occupied by Clarion Solicitors.

The five-storey property spans 25,000 square feet and includes 15 parking spaces. Previously owned by an institutional investor since 2014, it has now been added to Wykeland’s growing portfolio.

David Donkin, Wykeland’s property director, commented, “We’re pleased to have acquired this property in a prime location in the centre of Leeds, the commercial capital of Yorkshire. It adds to our growing portfolio of buildings in key town and city centre locations in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. We’re continuing to actively explore opportunities to acquire properties that are in attractive locations and add value to our asset base.”

Wykeland, based in Hull, boasts a £500m development pipeline in Yorkshire and the Humber. The company has recently acquired several city centre properties, including the Burton building and former Marks & Spencer store in Hull, and the Waterside Centre in Lincoln through a joint venture with Lincolnshire Co-op.

The acquisition of Elizabeth House was facilitated by Carrick Real Estate and Andrew Jackson Solicitors, with Dove Haigh Phillips representing the former owner.
