Leeds Urban Development


The urban development in Leeds is happening so quickly... as soon as a plan is authorized, another is being proposed. Lumiere is currently under construction on Wellington Street, Leeds which will be the tallest residential building in Europe. The new face of Leeds is commencing. I hope that the contemporary will highlight the historic.

Wellington Place is the most significant urban regeneration project in the region, a 2 acre city centre site that will provide in excess of three million square feet of offices, residential, hotel, retail and leisure uses with the added appeal of galleries and inspiring public spaces. All this plus the extensive frontage to the River Aire.
