Phase two also supports the delivery of the first section of the East Leeds Orbital Road. This road will unlock land that can be used to build up to 7,000 homes in the East Leeds area.

Paul Holcroft of Scarborough International Properties, said: “Following the other recent sales at Thorpe Park, the level of interest and price achieved for these buildings is evidence of the demand for prime office assets at Thorpe Park in Leeds.

“The quality of the scheme continues to attract occupiers who recognise the importance of The Springs amenity and welfare provisions on offer, helping them attract and retain the highest quality staff.”
