Plans have been unveiled to develop a new £160 million mixed-use scheme in Leeds.

The Parklane Group is proposing to develop the 33-storey INC tower at a development site on Wellington Street.

Features of the 45,000 sq m building will include a 198 unit aparthotel, 163 private rented sector apartments, 200 co-living apartments, almost 4,000 sq m of co-working space, a bar and restaurant, swimming pool, gym and retail facilities. Architects BDP have been appointed to develop the project's design.

Parklane Group Director, Naveen Ahmed, said: "INC in Leeds has been designed to be a city defining development, providing a step change in the PRS, co-working, hospitality and retail offer across the North of England. Our vision is formed around not only developing world class facilities, but creating a lifestyle that fits the aspirations of the innovative and dynamic businesses and people in our city.


"Our ambition for INC in Leeds is to create a stand-out building in the North of England, competing with schemes with a national and international profile. We want this landmark building to become an asset for the city, with accessible public space that enhances the community and offers premier facilities under one roof. This development will be the first of its kind in the UK and a concept that can be rolled out in other cities across the country and internationally."

City Council Leader Judith Blake said: "We are seeing lots of interest in investing in Leeds, and it's very encouraging to see a Leeds-based developer bringing forward such ambitious proposals to create a new gateway into the city centre."
