BROAD GATE WEBSITE LAUNCH
Welcome to the Broad Gate Website (our new name for the former Allders building). We are excited about sharing our plans to transform this wonderful landmark building and bring it back to its former glory.
This website is designed to keep you informed about our plans and ongoing progress on site for this innovative mixed use development in the heart of the the city centre.
Following the closure of Allders department store on The Headrow, we have spent time working on a scheme, which will see a complete transformation to provide 21st century mixed use accommodation. This includes four large retail units at lower ground, ground and first floor levels and prime office accommodation, offering the biggest single floor plates in the city centre, at levels two to five.
Broad Gate is a flagship 300,000 sq ft development that boasts the largest office floor plates within the City together with 122,000 sq ft of superior high quality retail units.
Situated in the heart of all the action, Broad Gate offers unrivalled access to all that the vibrant city of Leeds has to offer. Just moments from the Grand Theatre, Leeds City Gallery and the Henry Moore Museum, Broad Gate is ideal for culture vultures as well as being conveniently located closely to bars, clubs, restaurants and shopping centres.
A MODERN CLASSIC. The Broad Gate development represents a unique combination of the past and the future of Leeds. The redevelopment, led by award-winning architects, will restore the external façade to its former glory and complete the original blueprint for the building using traditional Portland stone and brick, as well as reinvigorating the streetscape by new glazed shop fronts at lower levels.
Inside the development, the interior is undergoing a massive transformation designed to create stunning modern and efficient high specification office accommodation that includes a breathtaking atrium and glass curtain walling at the rear.
The central location, offering unparalleled access to the City’s superb retail and leisure opportunities, the size and the flexibility of office floor plates available within Broad Gate are matched by the quality of design specification and finishes within.
