The building was put up for sale by publishing group Johnston Press in November 2012 after a plan was announced to move the two newspapers from the premises to a modern office block as it looked to save costs. Helen Oldham, managing director of Johnston Press Yorkshire, confirmed an application to demolish the existing structures on site has been formally submitted to Leeds City Council. The symbolic offices on Wellington Street have been home to both the Yorkshire Post and Yorkshire Evening Post for 42 years and have been a familiar sight for thousands of Leeds commuters. Opened in 1970 by Prince Charles, the landmark Leeds building is known around Yorkshire for its concrete exterior and iconic clock. It was announced earlier this year that English Heritage said the building would not be listed. The site will now look to be used for redevelopment. http://www.awsltd.co.uk/news_article/94/property-forum-leads-investigation-into-bid-for-leeds Leading property owners in Leeds have joined forces with the city council to investigate the merits of creating a Business Improvement District (BID) for Leeds city centre, which could generate millions of pounds to improve the local economy. The BID proposal is being headed by the Leeds Chamber Property Forum. A feasibility study, which is being funded by the property owners and Leeds City Council, will involve engagement and consultation with key city stakeholders, including Leeds, York and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, Leeds and Partners, Leeds Retail Association, first direct Arena, shopping centre owners, Kirkgate Market, Leeds Civic Trust, the voluntary sector, hoteliers and licensed occupiers. It is hoped that early progress can be made and that a BID can be part of the continuing success of Leeds. http://www.awsltd.co.uk/news_article/93/major-letting-in-west-leeds With Knight Frank on behalf of Towngate we have let 55 Gelderd Road to OPM Packaging on a new 10 year lease. 55 Gelderd Road is a detached high quality industrial unit of 54,767 sq ft located to the West of Leeds benefitting from excellent access to the City Centre and the motorway network.
