Delivering an additional 42,000 sq m of retail and leisure space, as well as a multi-storey car park, Victoria Gate enhanceS the retail offer in Leeds, giving a number of retailers a presence in the region for the first time. They include John Lewis, who was an anchor tenant for the new development.
Our first project for this client, we worked collaboratively with John Lewis' professional team to design and price the scheme, incorporating a number of changes as we looked for the best solution at all times.
The scheme consists of five sales floors, two basement levels and a rooftop area. There was a series of phased handovers during the 30-week programme, the most significant being at 22 weeks when we handed over space to the shop fitters to continue fitting out the different concession stores within John Lewis.
