Aire Street Workshops
Located only a minutes walk from Leeds Railway Station, Aire Street Workshops are handy for all city centre transport links. The building was developed in 1981, opened by Lord Bellwin and owned by Leeds City Council. It was refurbished using grants from the Department of the Environment and the City Council.
There are 27 units averaging 400 square feet on four floors. Aire Street also has a lift and stairs to all floors and there is extremely limited parking available. Parking permits are allocated to a limited number of licensees. Visitors parking permits are required for all loading and unloading (limited to 30 minutes duration).

Aire street we felt was most suited to our needs. It was central and near by the train station and bus stations. Many hotels surround it, to accommodate clients.
Because the 'start-up' system ends after three years at the workshops, if we still wanted to stay in the same area, there are many stylish more expensive spaces, we could comfortably expand to. Especially because its a very creative area, where hopefully we will make lasting clients/friends.

An open lounge, ClubRooms and an entrance onto the station itself makes this the perfect place to base your business, drop in and work or meet clients. On top of great connectivity, considered design and brilliant service the building offers spaces for every way of working: dedicated offices, 5 Meeting Rooms with a Boardroom and conferencing facility, a ClubRooms Lounge.
This is all topped off with a roof terrace with 360 views of the city. Expect outdoor meetings, yoga on the roof and lots and lots of BBQs. Ideally located within Leeds station with lots of local amenities for you to take advantage of:
