3 YOUR PLATFORM TO CONNECT At Platform you can be right at the heart of things, as well as being plugged directly into the regional and national transport network. The building represents a major strategic development for Leeds, standing above the city s mainline railway station. In this statement location, your business couldn t be better connected. You can get to and from London in just over two hours, as well as accessing onward travel to any destination across the country. A base at Platform can take you literally anywhere.

4 YOUR PLATFORM FOR GROWTH To be successful in the ever-changing world of work, businesses need to be both inventive and agile, embracing the benefits of collaboration, social interaction, and coworking. These principles are fundamental to the design and development of Platform. This reinvention of one of Leeds landmark buildings, right above the train station, offers stimulating and collaborative workspace for businesses of all shapes and sizes right at the heart of the city centre. Whether you re an established business looking to expand, or just starting out with a need for a flexible desk or studio arrangement, Platform is a place where you can flourish and grow within a community of like-minded people.

5 YOUR PLATFORM TO CULTIVATE Platform is more than just a building it s a springboard for success. Each of the building s ten floors has 9,720 sq ft (903 sq m) of space to deliver everything a progressive business could want, from the highest standards of energy efficiency to complete flexibility in shaping the style and character of your workspace. Three lower floors provide a Tech Hub of hot desk spaces, dedicated coworking areas and studio offices for 2-12 people. It s here that smaller businesses can put down roots or larger businesses can access additional space for project working or temporary teams. What s important is that Platform delivers the flexibility for businesses of all sizes to develop and grow in an enterprise focussed environment that encourages them to reach their full potential.

6 YOUR PLATFORM TO ESCAPE An abundance of natural light and air is not only good for your health, but connects your people to their surroundings and the world beyond. The shared rood terrace at Platform offers you the perfect chance to escape and enjoy the stunning views of the city. With wifi included, you can work stimulated by the change of perspective or simply relax and take time for yourself.

7 YOUR PLATFORM TO COLLABORATE Creating the opportunity for chance encounters and unplanned interactions has been proven to encourage connections, especially for businesses at the heart of the knowledge economy. Just like colliding particles, coming into contact with others can cause changes in energy and momentum at every level. At Platform social spaces are engineered to bring you together with like-minded people. Located on the mezzanine level, the lounge provides the perfect opportunity to make connections, with a variety of meeting and working spaces, kitchen and event spaces.

8 Upper floor workspace CONNECTED PHYSICALLY & DIGITALLY... Creating the right physical and digital environment for your business has never been more important. Businesses of all shapes, sizes and attitudes are realising the benefits of having a more evolved workspace, with informal areas starting to take over from the desk as the most productive element of the working environment. At Platform you can get the best of both worlds, enjoying access to shared informal spaces whether you have your own self-contained office or are simply using one of the hot desk or coworking spaces. With a variety of different-sized office spaces, from smaller two-person studios to multiple floors, at Platform you can enjoy your own self-contained space and still take advantage of all the benefits that being part of a wider workplace community can bring. Collaboration and communication are the goals. To make that happen you need to have access to the right type of environment for people to engage with one another. On the building s upper floors you can turn your own workspace ideas into reality, creating an environment that is as individual and imaginative as your business. Treat your office space as a blank canvas on which you can express your brand s own personality. We can help you breathe life into that space, bringing your brand alive and energising your team. For your business, top-notch digital connectivity is not just an added extra, it s an essential utility just as important as water or power. At Platform you ll have the flexibility to increase your bandwidth at any point up to and including a hyperfast broadband connection, even if it s only required for a short amount of time. In addition, all the building s shared spaces benefit from free wifi, enabling you to stay connected when you re away from your desk.

9 Tech Hub breakout space...socially & SUSTAINABLY Shared social spaces sit at the heart of the Platform community, adding to the productivity and enjoyment of everyday working. Soft spaces, quiet spaces, social spaces, concentration spaces all of these are essential elements for businesses that want to work a little bit differently. At Platform you can hold an informal meeting, share ideas, or have time to think in peace and quiet away from your desk. A 64-seat event space will be brought to life with a programme of activities created by an on-site community engagement manager, with input from building occupiers and special guests. The aim is to create the right reasons for you to engage with other members of the Platform community, sharing ideas and experiences. Sustainability is also a major factor in the success of our cities and of the businesses that operate in them. Platform will be BREEAM Excellent standard and the workspaces will achieve an A category energy performance certificate. The building also has the infrastructure to help your people make transport choices that are both healthy and sustainable. On-site bike storage, complete with locker and shower facilities, will make cycling to work a logical and appealing option. With Platform s excellent connectivity through the local transport and regional network, leaving the car at home will seem a more attractive choice.
