Contractor Caddick Construction will develop six industrial units ranging in size from 25,000 sq ft to 70,000 sq ft with heights ranging from 8 to 12 metres.
All six buildings are expected to receive a 'Very Good' BREEAM rating as well as an EPC A rating. The units are situated in south east Leeds between Junction 44 of the M1 and Junction 7 of the M621.
The project has supported 300 jobs during construction and is expected to create an additional 500 jobs when the units become occupied. The works are expected to be completed by November 2023.

Paul Dodsworth, Managing Director at Caddick Construction commented: "It's brilliant to see this flagship employment scheme really start to take shape at Leeds Valley Park. Once complete, this development will offer local businesses a great opportunity to map their operations only 15 minutes from central Leeds, just between Junction 44 of the M1 and Junction 7 of the M621.
"Working alongside Caddick Developments means that we can ensure the very best service across the board, efficient processes are in use and all aspects of the development and operations married with the vision from Caddick Developments."
Jim Dyson, Director at Caddick Developments, also said: "When it comes to urban logistics, connectivity is key, and Leeds Valley Park benefits from the unrivalled motorway connections of Leeds' premier industrial and distribution location.
"Our work with Caddick Construction to bring forward this 300,000 sq ft scheme is a great example of how the Caddick Group has the agility to collaborate across disciplines and create exemplar, market-leading developments that meet the needs of different locations and occupiers."
