UK: BTR developer Platform has submitted a planning application for a £500 million mixed-use development in Leeds city centre.
It hopes to build a 1.3 million square foot mixed-use development on Sweet Street, in the South Bank regeneration area that is extending Leeds city centre to the south.
The masterplan includes up to 1,350 BTR apartments, 200,000 square feet of commercial space across two office buildings, and a new public square.
Platform chief executive Jean-Marc Vandevivere said: “We see fantastic opportunities in Leeds, one of the fastest-growing cities in the UK, and the South Bank area in particular. We are proud to present a transformational vision to create a community-first development that epitomises the very best of inclusive, modern day living.”
“The Sweet Street development represents an exciting and evolutionary addition to our portfolio, whilst also underlining our commitment to long-term investment in the region. We are aiming to commence works to bring our vision to life in 2023,” he added.
The development will create around 360 full time equivalent jobs during the construction phase.
