New 52,000 sq ft retail park in West Yorkshire set to open this week

A new 52,000 sq ft retail park in Stanningley, near Leeds, is set to begin on Thursday, 22nd February.

PDR Construction started work on Belgrave Retail Park in June last year.

The site is anchored by a 24,500 sq ft Lidl store with seven other retail units fully let to names including Home Bargains, Heron, Card Factory and Greggs.

Paul Dransfield, PDR Construction managing director, said: “We have worked in partnership with Lidl to regenerate this former industrial site which is now the most prominent retail park in this busy area of Leeds.

“PDR has had a presence in this part of Leeds since 2005, having set-up our Leeds office across the road from this site.

“We also have a strong relationship with Lidl having worked with them for almost 20 years and built 25 of their stores across the North of England.”

The retail park is built on a brownfield site that was formerly occupied by electrical manufacturer Winder Power, which moved to larger premises nearby in 2008.

Situated between Leeds and Bradford, the retail park is on Town Street, one of the main arterial routes in and out of Leeds and a route on the new Leeds to Bradford Cycle Superhighway.

The project is just one of a number of structures PDR Construction will complete this year.

Other projects include the business centre ergo at Bridgehead Business Park, Hessle, a new Porsche dealership in Edinburgh for Sytner Group, and a multi-screen cinema, hotel and restaurant units in Sittingbourne for U+I.
