Planning granted for aparthotel and retail development in Leeds



Town Centre Securities (TCS) – in a JV with Leeds City Council – has secured planning permission for a 126-unit aparthotel and retail development.


Planning was approved for the construction of 96 studios, 26 one-bedroom and four two-bedroom units as well as nine ground-floor commercial units.

TCS and the council are working closely with Kirkgate Market on the ground-floor retail strategy as the scheme aims to introduce new clientele to the market.

The development is part of an ongoing scheme to further develop the southern side of George Street.

In the coming months, TCS and the council aim to secure a main occupier for the aparthotel scheme.

“We are delighted to have secured planning consent for this scheme, which will further enhance the continuous regeneration of this ever-evolving part of the city,” said Edward Ziff, chairman and chief executive of Town Centre Securities. 

“We look forward to working in partnership with Leeds City Council to bring this to fruition.”

Cllr Richard Lewis, executive member for regeneration, transport and town planning at Leeds City Council, added: “George Street has seen significant changes in the last couple of years since the completion of Victoria Gate and the new aparthotel will be a very positive addition to the city.

“It will provide an opportunity to finish George Street with a high-quality building that will bring life to, and unite, this area. 

“It is another important milestone on the journey to further improve the vibrancy of the market and support local business by attracting new customers.”
