Work Complete On Merrion House Refurb In Leeds
The project was delivered by BAM Construction for London-based property development and investment company, Town Centre Securities (TCS) and Leeds City Council
The city centre office building offers 170,000 sq ft of office space housing nearly 2,200 staff, including all public-facing services and some from West Yorkshire Police and Leeds Community Health Care. Staff will be under the same roof together with a customer services hub, once the councils fit out completes later in the year.

Features of the project included deconstructing the existing building, before recladding and glazing the exterior and together with the addition of a new atrium and extension.
The milestone completes TCS's £70 million two-year development and improvement project for its largest single asset, the Merrion Centre in Leeds, of which Merrion House forms part.
Edward Ziff OBE, Chairman and Chief Executive of TCS, said: "The redevelopment of Merrion House and public-private partnership approach between Leeds City Council and Town Centre Securities have been hugely successful and we are proud to be assisting with the Council as it evolves its services with significant operational cost savings."
Simon Sutcliffe, Project manager at BAM, said: "The redevelopment of Merrion House has been a major project for BAM Construction and one that we're extremely proud to have played our part."
