A PROPERTY agency with offices in Huddersfield has been appointed sole agent for a new office development in West Yorkshire.

Building work is under way on a new 15,000sq ft extension at the Bradford headquarters of Christian education charity, The Lighthouse Group.

The charity, which works with disadvantaged young people, attracted £1.2m of funding from the Bradford Local Enterprise Growth Initiative and the European Regional Development Fund to finance the project.

Eddisons, which acted as letting agent for the original building, is now sole agent on the three-storey extension, which will provide Grade A office space at the site on Trevor Foster Way.

Jonathan O’ Connor, of Eddisons, said: “We are delighted to extend our involvement with the site which benefits from good road links and includes managed reception facilities, meeting rooms and an on site café.

“The small suites and flexible terms make this facility attractive to a range of businesses, particularly those in the creative and digital sector, looking to grow and develop in a thriving enterprise environment.”

The original building, just off the M606, was completed in 2008 and is known as the Centre of Excellence.

As well as providing a base for TLG, it has nine tenants, including Costa Coffee and Swedish bank Handelsbanken.

The new building is set to be ready for occupation after Easter.
