Construction group completes purchase of 6-acre site south of Leeds city centre

Caddick Group in conjunction with BET (Leeds) Ltd has completed the purchase of the former Polestar Petty print works on Whitehall Road Leeds.

The site comprises in excess of 150 000 sq ft of warehouse and office buildings on a 6-acre site just outside the city centre.

Johnny Caddick commented: “The Whitehall Road site is a natural extension to the exciting development activity currently taking place in this part of the City.

“The recent announcement of the GPU development at Wellington Place has added further significance to the location.

“The proximity of the Whitehall Road site to the station and City Centre make it an exciting opportunity to create a great place to live and work.

“Our intentions are to refurbish a number of the buildings for industrial and trade uses in the short term, whilst we assess the site’s redevelopment potential in use, scale and massing terms.”

The Leeds offices of Gent Visick and Colliers International are advising Caddick and BET on the refurbishment proposals.
