Wakefield bucks trend

At least Wakefield is going ahead with further stages of its £140 million Merchant Gate scheme by English Cities Fund (ECf), a partnerships of Muse, Legal and General and Homes & Communities Agency (HCA). Jones Lang LaSalle and King Sturge have been appointed to market the 4,459 sq.metres (48,000 sq.ft.) of offices, which are close to Wakefield railway station giving rapid access to Leeds and London (2 hours). JLL’s Jeff Pearey said: “The three buildings of Merchant Gate make an impressive new business district and comprise some of the best offices available in Wakefield.” Emma Cordingley of ECf said: “Despite the economic climate, this landmark scheme, alongside those such as Trinity Walk and the new Hepworth Gallery, are spearheading Wakefield’s current major urban regeneration programme.”
