Madre — Wellington Place — Spring

Why this matters for Leeds

The scale of the commitments is interesting: Dishoom taking 8,000 sq ft on a Grade II-listed building, Uniqlo opening nearly 12,000 sq ft on Briggate, and Lane7 filling 23,000 sq ft at Trinity Leeds. For landlords, developers, and professional services firms in Leeds, this is evidence of occupier demand.
