The office element of the Great Central Square mixed-use development will offer up to 33,000 sq ft of Grade A offices.
They will be located next to two newly constructed hotels and public realm areas.
The mixed-use development will also see the listed Great Central Railway Station brought back to its former glory and converted into retail/leisure space.
Reg Pollock from property consultants APB Leicester LLP, said: "No.1 Great Central Square is such a key development for Leicester; the site exceeds occupiers demands in terms of office accommodation in a modern thriving city centre.

"Construction is ahead of schedule and the completion date has moved forward. This is great news given the overwhelmingly positive response and strong interest from potential occupiers received to date. Interested parties are reacting to the clear advantages this location offers, not to mention the fantastic facilities and working environment offered.
"Great Central Square is a significant regeneration scheme so it's no surprise that people are keen to be a part of it. Its completion will create a gateway between the city and the waterside, tenants will benefit from the nearby Highcross shopping centre and fantastic transport links to the rail station, motorway network, and nearby airports."
James Keeton of joint agents JLL, added: "It's great to see speculative development within Leicester City Centre reflecting the confidence our clients Charles Street Buildings have in the market. No.1 Great Central raises the bar in terms of specification and design of offices delivered in Leicester to date and, when combined with the high-profile city centre location, really does offer office occupiers looking for space within the Leicester market something quite special."
