Council looks to unlock development at prime city centre site

Land at the heart of a major city regeneration scheme has come to the market this week.

Meadow Lane, on the Leeds South Bank, is a 0.18 hectare plot which forms part of the new multi-million pound city centre green space – Aire Park.

Councillor James Lewis, leader of Leeds City Council, said: “South Bank, Leeds has taken huge strides in terms of regeneration of the area over the last decade, from both the regeneration of key heritage and industrial assets, to bringing forward the largest city centre green space in the UK,  and in turn creating well connected and sustainable neighbourhoods.

“The city is going through momentous change and the council is committed to continuing to help unlock major commercial and residential development across the South Bank and the centre of Leeds.

“This is one example of where we have been able to release a prime piece of city centre land, for better use and to continue to build upon this excellent and vibrant community.”

Cushman & Wakefield is marketing the site on behalf of the council.
