SGI Unveils Next Phase of Thorpe Park Leeds

Scarborough Group International (SGI) has announced its vision for the next phase of development at Thorpe Park Leeds, outlining plans to introduce a major industrial and logistics hub, new urban apartments, and additional Grade A business spaces with supporting amenities.

Building on more than 25 years of sustained development, Thorpe Park Leeds has evolved into one of the region's most prominent mixed-use destinations. Spanning more than 1.4 million sq ft of business, retail and leisure space, the site features notable developments including the Paradigm and Lumina office buildings and The Springs retail and leisure centre. The recent launch of No. 1 The Square marked a major milestone, securing Yorkshire’s largest-ever out-of-town pre-let office deal.

The transformation has been enabled by major infrastructure upgrades, including a new bridge over the TransPennine Railway and the Manston Lane Link Road. These works have enhanced connectivity, completed the East Leeds Orbital Route, and unlocked key areas within the East Leeds Extension – one of the city’s largest planned residential zones.

With outline planning permission already secured for an additional 1 million sq ft of mixed-use development, SGI is now accelerating the estate’s next chapter. Central to this vision is 'Integral at Thorpe Park Leeds', a new industrial and logistics hub designed to be a key feature of the estate. SGI is also exploring the development of up to 450 new apartments, supporting a vibrant residential community and expanding housing options for modern urban living.

To support its renewed focus, SGI has launched a new website for Thorpe Park Leeds. Designed to unify all aspects of the development, the site offers a streamlined, user-friendly experience for prospective occupiers and investors. It sets out a clear and cohesive vision for the estate, underlining SGI’s commitment to creating a sustainable, inclusive, and connected destination.

Kevin McCabe, Chairman and Founder at SGI, said: "The transformation of Thorpe Park Leeds over recent years provides a strong foundation for future growth. As we prepare to accelerate delivery of the next phase, our focus is on creating high-quality workspace, homes and amenities that support the ambitions of Leeds as a city and deliver long-term benefits to businesses, residents and investors alike. The launch of our new website marks a key milestone in bringing our vision together, providing greater clarity and a more engaging experience for everyone who is part of Thorpe Park Leeds."
