Plans For BAM's Latitude Yellow Get The Go-Ahead

Construction News Image
Plans for BAM's Latitude Yellow, a new 12-storey sustainable office development, have been given the go-ahead by Leeds City Council.

The proposals will be located on the final remaining plot of the former Doncaster Monk Bridge works off Whitehall Road, in the established Leeds West End Business District. Developed by BAM, Latitude Yellow will provide over 200,000 sq. ft. of Grade A commercial office space.

Latitude Yellow has been meticulously designed to create the next generation of high-quality, sustainable office space. With a vision to be the most sustainable new workspace in Leeds, the development will achieve Net-Zero status from day one, totally eliminating the need for fossil fuels throughout the lifetime of the building and relying exclusively on renewable energy sources.

The development will target BREEAM Outstanding and a Nabers rating of 5.5. The design promotes sustainable and active travel, with minimal on-site car parking, premium changing facilities and secure cycle storage areas.

The development has been designed to offer exceptional amenities and access to outdoor space, with the inclusion of a gym, ground floor café, event space, and roof garden. Biodiversity-friendly features include green walls throughout the development and a new public realm.

Over 25% of the budget for Latitude Yellow has been allocated to local social value initiatives, so the development will directly benefit the local community.
