Prescient Capital, having acquired full ownership after buying out former joint venture partner Asset Capital, secured planning approval for the scheme last year.
Positioned directly opposite MEPC’s Wellington Place and just a short walk from Leeds station, the site is strategically located in the city’s core business district.
Enabling works are already underway, with demolition scheduled to begin in September. The project is expected to reach full completion by July 2027.
Designed to meet the highest ESG standards, the landmark office will target EPC A, BREEAM Outstanding, NABERS 5 Star, Fitwel 3 Star, and WiredScore Platinum ratings. Planned amenities include a rooftop sky lounge, on-site gym, changing facilities, and flexible co-working spaces.
