Heeton Holdings Limited, KSH Holdings Limited, Lian Beng Group Ltd. and Ryobi Kiso Holdings Ltd. announced that the first phase of a new regeneration scheme at Bridge Street in Leeds began 6 September 2017. The scheme will create a sustainable urban destination on the 2.45-acre site that was once occupied by British Gas prior to their relocation to Holbeck. The scheme is set in an ideal location in the city centre, close to the Victoria Gate shopping centre and the emerging creative quarter.

Central to the first phase of the scheme will be a new hotel to be operated by major hotel chain, Hampton by Hilton, who signed a deal for a new 14-storey hotel last year. The 192- bedroom hotel, which has an anticipated opening date of 2019, will also include meeting rooms, a conference venue, a gym, a bar and a restaurant. A potential second phase of the overall masterplan would provide a significant number of new homes, responding to the strong demand within Leeds for high-quality, centrally-located accommodation.
