Located in the new Temple district within Leeds city centre, Globe Point includes the 8.69 acre sites around Water Lane and Globe Road as well as the historic Grade 1 listed Temple Mill. This will bring back to life weave and texture as a recognition of this area of the city's legacy of wool and flax spinning, weaving and tailoring.
BAM Construction will work to deliver a 38,000 sq ft speculative development incorporating office space with ground floor break out space, retail and leisure.

Following further detailed design work, BAM will start building the first 38,000 sq ft striking office development at Globe Point in early 2020. The second phase, which also has detailed planning permission, could come forward simultaneously and agents Fox Lloyd Jones and Knight Frank are identifying occupiers now. This building would offer 138,168 sq ft with ground floor retail and leisure.
CEG is leading the project with Stirling prize winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios working on the masterplan.
John Phillips, Director of BAM Construction in the North East, said: "This is an imaginative and bold scheme and any contractor would be excited to be involved with it. It's great to see the regenerative ambition and for us, as a historic contractor, the respect shown to the region's industrial past is inspiring. BAM is all about building considerately and using our opportunity to enhance lives and we will bring our modern attitudes and technical capabilities to the table and look forward to working with our partners."
