We are thrilled to announce our latest acquisition and our first major move into a new northern city with Sovereign House, a landmark building right in the heart of central Leeds.
Located on one of the most prominent and desirable corners of the city centre, Sovereign House sits proudly on South Parade, Park Row and The Headrow, placing it at the centre of Leeds’ thriving leisure district and just moments from some of the city’s most dynamic and high-performing areas.
Originally built for The Bank of England, this Grade II listed building has evolved into a destination leisure venue and mixed-use space, following over £1.8 million of recent investment. The site features a multi-level, split entrance leisure unit spanning 15,887 sq ft, home to the UK’s only dual Flight Club and Electric Shuffle venue outside London. Upstairs, flexible Grade A office spaces are available in both CAT A and fully fitted options, offering modern workspaces in a truly historic setting.
The acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Northern Group as we expand our footprint beyond Greater Manchester and invest in another vibrant northern city. It reflects our continued commitment to creating high-quality, design-led spaces and contributing to the growth of future-facing city centres.
Sovereign House’s unique location at the intersection of Leeds’ core commercial, leisure and retail districts makes it a fantastic opportunity for long-term value creation. We see huge potential in Leeds as a hub for innovation, business growth and cultural vibrancy and are looking forward to playing a meaningful role in its ongoing transformation.
This latest acquisition follows a series of major investments across Manchester, including the DKNY building at 76 King Street, 19 Spring Gardens, and the Sir William Siemens House on Princess Parkway. These join Northern Group’s award-winning Ancoats developments such as One Silk Street, Ice Plant and Jactin House, all known for their distinctive design, prime locations and exceptional resident experience.
With Sovereign House, Northern Group is taking another step forward in expanding across the North, continuing our mission to create places where people and businesses can truly thrive through thoughtful design, quality service and a community-focused approach.
