Following a decade of accelerated growth and investment, leading property regeneration and placemaking specialist, Scarborough Group International (SGI) is looking ahead to the next phase for Thorpe Park Leeds.
This includes the delivery of a significant industrial and logistics hub, new residential apartments, as well as further Grade A business accommodation with supporting amenities, building on more than 25 years as a cornerstone of East Leeds’ business and community landscape.
Today, Thorpe Park Leeds stands as one of the region’s most significant mixed-use destinations. Over the past decade, the development has expanded to more than 1.4 million sq ft of business, retail and leisure space, including landmark offices such as Paradigm and Lumina, and the creation of The Springs retail and leisure centre. The most recent addition of No. 1 The Square has further strengthened Thorpe Park’s role as a centre for employment and secured Yorkshire’s largest-ever out-of-town pre-let deal.
Significant infrastructure enhancements have underpinned this transformation. The construction of a new bridge over the TransPennine Railway and the Manston Lane Link Road have greatly improved access, enabling completion of the East Leeds Orbital Route and unlocking land for the East Leeds Extension – one of the largest residential expansion areas in the city. Together with direct motorway access and comprehensive on-site transport connections, these improvements have positioned Thorpe Park Leeds as one of the most accessible and well-connected destinations in the region.
With a strong foundation in place and outline consent for a further 1m sq ft of mixed-use space already secured, SGI is now focused on accelerating the delivery of the next phase at Thorpe Park Leeds. This will see the repositioning of the whole estate, with an expanded vision that includes bringing Integral at Thorpe Park Leeds – a purpose-built industrial and logistics hub – firmly into the heart of the masterplan. Additionally, SGI is actively exploring opportunities to deliver up to 450 urban apartments on the estate, supporting the creation of a thriving residential community and offering a variety of options for modern city living.
Reflecting this renewed clarity of purpose and commitment to placemaking, SGI has launched a new website for Thorpe Park Leeds. The site brings together every aspect of the development in a single, accessible platform, offering a significantly improved user experience to potential occupiers and investors. The new website sets out a clear vision for the future, showcasing the estate’s diverse opportunities and SGI’s ambition to create an inclusive, sustainable and connected destination.
Kevin McCabe, Chairman and Founder at SGI, said:
“The transformation of Thorpe Park Leeds over recent years provides a strong foundation for future growth. As we prepare to accelerate delivery of the next phase, our focus is on creating high-quality workspace, homes and amenities that support the ambitions of Leeds as a city and deliver long-term benefits to businesses, residents and investors alike. The launch of our new website marks a key milestone in bringing our vision together, providing greater clarity and a more engaging experience for everyone who is part of Thorpe Park Leeds.”
