Study Group secures major Leeds office for international student centre

Study Group has signed a five-year lease for 19,000 sq. ft. at 8 Park Row in Leeds city centre, marking one of the largest office deals in the city this year. The space will house The Leeds International Study Centre (ISC) for progression to the University of Leeds.

The deal, brokered by property consultancies Knight Frank and Fisher German LLP, will see the ISC occupy floors three to seven following a refurbishment. Study Group, in partnership with the University of Leeds, runs pathway programmes for international students in subjects including STEM, business, law, and social sciences.

Leeds has seen increased education-sector investment in recent years, with institutions such as the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, Leeds Trinity University, and the Mathematics School of Excellence establishing city-centre locations.

8 Park Row, originally the site of Beckett Bank, was built in 1967. Leeds Civic Trust opposed previous proposals to convert it into residential units.

Study Group cited the building’s location, quality, and architectural significance as key factors in the decision. Fisher German advised on the transaction, highlighting 8 Park Row as the best fit for the ISC’s operational needs.
