Town Centre Securities hails Merrion House as major redevelopment completes
Leeds / Hemel Hempstead, 5 February 2018 - Town Centre Securities’ (TCS) flagship Merrion House building in Leeds has achieved practical completion of its refurbishment and extension works under one of the biggest public and private sector partnerships agreed in recent years.
The ten-storey building is jointly owned by the leading Leeds and London based property development and investment company (TCS), and Leeds City Council under a unique long-term partnership.
Offering 170,000 sq ft of office space, Merrion House will be the main city centre office base for Leeds City Council, housing 2,196 staff including all public-facing services and some from West Yorkshire Police and Leeds Community Health Care. Staff will be under the same roof together with a customer services hub, once the councils fit out completes later in the year.
BAM Construction has delivered the project, which is TCS’s largest development scheme and one of the largest ever pre-lets in the city. Work has included deconstructing the existing building, before recladding and glazing the exterior and together with the addition of a stunning atrium and extension.
The Merrion House milestone completes TCS’s successful £70 million, ten year development and improvement project for its largest single asset, the Merrion Centre in Leeds, of which Merrion House forms part.
