Work has started
Work is underway on the next stage of a major project in Leeds city centre Aire Park will span 24 acres of the city’s South Bank, and will create a vibrant new district which will be home to over 11,000 workers and up to 3,000 residents.
The latest phase will see the construction of a new seven-storey, commercial building, boasting 75,000 sq ft of Grade A office space, and almost 7,000 sq ft of flexible ground floor retail and leisure space. Located on the corner of Waterloo Street and Hunslet Road, the new landmark building will act as a gateway to Aire Park on the approach from Leeds train station and the city centre.
"Leeds’ reputation as a fantastic place to live and work has been widely documented, and we’re pleased to be playing our part in this by not only driving further inward investment, but creating a brand-new urban district specifically designed to prioritise healthy lifestyles and active participation in nature.
Peter Cartwright, director at Cartwright Pickard, added: "This is a new generation of office building for Leeds, designed to enhance wellbeing and productivity, as well as to strengthen a sense of place. Providing sweeping views across the city and a strong visual connection to the greenery of Aire Park, it seamlessly combines modern methods of construction with details which reflect the heritage and craft found historically in Leeds.
