Approval granted for next phase of Wellington Place
APPROVAL has been granted for the next phase of Wellington Place in Leeds city centre.
Detailed planning consent has been granted for buildings five and six today and it’s anticipated that building will start during 2014-2015 – building five, with 65,000 sq ft and building six, with 100,000 sq ft of grade A office and retail space.
Both buildings will be five stories in height.
Construction of 10 Wellington Place, in the west end of Leeds, started in April.
This phase of this next development will incorporate extensive public space with a range of social and leisure amenities.
A brand new public square will create a landmark feature for the city complete with cafes and restaurants and provide Wellington Place with a lively and attractive focal point.
The area has already attracted a number of blue chip tenants including Allianz, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Sky and Towers Watson. Most recently, MEPC secured a 15,000 sq ft pre-let with leading law firm, Shulmans, for Building 10.
