Leeds development gets further commercial space

Two more steel-framed office blocks are under construction at the Wellington Place development in Leeds city centre.

7 & 8 Wellington Place are two conjoined eight-storey structures that will offer more than 35,000m² of Grade A office space. The buildings also aim to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.

The offices have been named as the location of a brand-new Government Hub with HMRC taking the space on a 25-year lease.

Working on behalf of main contractor Wates, Billington Structures is fabricating, supplying and erecting the structural steelwork for the project.

Wellington Place will eventually boast a total of 140,000m² of commercial, retail, leisure and residential space and will be one of the biggest and most prestigious new city centre business quarters in Europe.

Billington Structures previously completed two other commercial blocks on the site known as 3 and 6 Wellington Place.
