“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.

“As a long-term developer, we’re looking forward to seeing the development thrive over the coming years, and to working with a number of key stakeholders, including Leeds City Council to improve connectivity, develop sustainable transport links, and overall help an unrealised area of the city centre to reach its full potential.”

Alongside targeting BREEAM’s ‘Excellent’ certification, the building has been pre-certified for a WiredScore Gold accreditation and a WELL Building Gold certificate.

The construction of the building is expected to be finished in early 2025.

Aire Park is estimated to be fully complete in 2032.

Spanning 24 acres in South Bank, Aire Park is expected to be home to more than 11,000 workers and up to 3,000 residents.

It is centred around an eight-acre public park.
