Developer CEG is proposing to create a 3.52-hectare mixed-use scheme at South Bank.
Designed by FCBStudios, the site will feature up to two office developments with ground floor retail and leisure totalling up to 26,100 square metres, as well as up to 103,900 square metres of offices, retail, leisure, hotel, health, education and community uses. In addition, parking and up to 750 new homes will be developed, along with new public spaces and landscaping.

Jon Kenny, Development Director at CEG, said: 'The site is the principal rail gateway into Leeds and the scheme has been designed to make a powerful positive impact on arrival to the city, showing how we are preparing for HS2 and investing to ensure our city offers development of an international quality."
David Hodgson, Head of Strategic Development North for CEG, added: 'This derelict site is an important core in the west of the city, an area which has suffered from neglect over a number of years. This is set to change. At the heart of the South Bank regeneration area, our proposals will deliver the same attention to detail and quality as we have delivered at our award-winning Kirkstall Forge development.
'This will be an exciting mixed-use strategic development of a critical mass and international standard, revitalising the area and reconnecting local communities to the city."
Elsewhere in Leeds, CEG is managing a £400m brownfield regeneration scheme at Kirkstall Forge, where a new station and the first flagship 110,000 sq ft office are now open.
