The project is planned to be built adjacent to Bridgewater Place on Water Lane.
Westbank Leeds will feature 500,000ft² of office space spread across four buildings and a luxury hotel with a sky bar and leisure space on the ground floor.
Stamford Property Holdings managing director Uri Goldberg was quoted by thebusinessdesk.com as saying: “With its proximity to Leeds Central Station and the extent of residential development in the immediate vicinity, our site will provide an office-led environment, based on the highest standards of sustainability and wellness, helping to reinforce Leeds’s pre-eminence in the north of England.”

The space will underpin the Holbeck regeneration project and create a rounded and well-balanced community.
