Construction To Begin On £350m Office Development In Leeds
Developers are set to break ground on a new £350 million office development in Leeds city centre later this month.
CEG has selected BAM Construction to take forward the first phase of the project, with work scheduled to begin on 30 March.
Known as Globe Point, this first development totals 37,810 sq ft over seven floors and incorporates office space with ground floor break out space, retail and leisure. Its iconic design by award-winning Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, will be the first flat iron building to be built in Leeds since 1875.
John Phillips, BAM's Regional Director for the North East, said: "BAM is the ideal fit for CEG's ingenious vision for Leeds. Being not only an historic company here, but also highly modern in our methods and collaborative in our approach, really matches the qualities of the building and its wider context.
"We have built many of the most recognisable buildings in the city, but you are only as good as the next one you build; and as ever, it is the quality of your relationships that drives the quality of your work. There is genuine excitement at BAM about being a part of this tremendous and far-sighted development that really connects to the soul of the city."
While phase one will be complete by spring/summer 2021, CEG is already working on the detailed design of its second phase, One Globe Square, which has reserved matters planning permission for 135,481 sq ft of offices with ground floor retail and leisure.
CEG also has outline planning permission for further development of up to 1.1 million sq ft of offices, shops, cafés, restaurants, bars, hotel and up to 750 new homes. This, along with innovative outdoor plazas and green spaces will create a thriving, vibrant and welcoming space to enjoy for those who will live, work and visit.
The developments will be at the heart of Temple, a new district within the city centre which forms a key part of the South Bank Regeneration Area of Leeds, adjacent to Leeds trains station. It includes the 8.69 acre sites around Water Lane and Globe Road which CEG secured planning permission for last year, as well as the historic Grade I listed Temple Works, which was acquired in early 2018.
Stirling prize winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios is working with CEG to masterplan Temple.
