52,000 sq ft retail park prepares for launch
A 52,000 sq ft retail park near Leeds is to open this week.
Hessle-based PDR Construction started work on Belgrave Retail Park in Stanningley, near Leeds, in June last year, and is set to open the scheme on Thursday.
The site is anchored by a 24,500 sq ft Lidl store with seven other retail units fully let to names including Home Bargains, Heron, Card Factory and Greggs.
PDR Construction managing director Paul Dransfield said it was a sign of confidence in the area.
“We have worked in partnership with Lidl to regenerate this former industrial site which is now the most prominent retail park in this busy area of Leeds,” he said.
“PDR has had a presence in this part of Leeds since 2005, having set-up our Leeds office across the road from this site.
“We also have a strong relationship with Lidl having worked with them for almost 20 years and built 25 of their stores across the North of England.”
The retail park is built on a brownfield site that was formerly occupied by electrical manufacturer Winder Power, which moved to larger premises nearby in 2008.
Other PDR Construction sites due to complete this year are business centre ergo at Bridgehead Business Park, Hessle, a new Porsche dealership in Edinburgh for Sytner Group, and a multi-screen cinema, hotel and restaurant units in Sittingbourne for U+I.
