AIB support MRP Investment & Development and McAleer & Rushe on significant new building in Leeds City Centre

At AIB, we’re committed to empowering a sustainable future, reducing our carbon footprint and supporting our customers to do the same.

It has been a privilege to once again support MRP Investment & Development and McAleer & Rushe on the construction of the most significant new office building in Leeds City Centre, which places sustainability at the heart of its operations. With an ‘Excellent’ BREAAM accreditation, City Square House building is fully electric powered, has a smart management system, as well as electric vehicle and e-bike charging facilities.

Paddy McGuigan, UK Manager, Commercial Real Estate at AIB said: “It’s a privilege to have been the banking partner to our long-standing client MRP as they continue to showcase the benefits of sustainable, high spec commercial spaces for cities. AIB has supported MRP on a local and national level, and it’s great to see the organisation drive best-practice in sustainable built environment through show stopping developments like City Square House.”    

Sustainability is at the heart of the AIB Group strategy as it seeks to protect our people, our prosperity and our planet from the devastating impact of climate change by reducing its own carbon footprint and supporting our customers to do the same. AIB’s purpose is empowering people to build a sustainable future, with an ambition that 70% of new lending will be green or transition by 2030. It is progressing that goal through the deployment of the €30 billion Climate Action Fund and through its new Climate Capital segment, which will focus on established renewable technology in North America, the UK and Europe.
