Leeds’ £1bn Eastgate Quarter has shifted up a gear after the developer JV appointed its consultant line-up to crack on with the city’s last big inner-core regeneration site.

Leeds-based Khalbros and Torsion Group JV has appointed the professional team to shape the four-hectare mixed-use scheme stretching from Vicar Lane to Bridge Street and up to the A64(M).

The long-neglected patch of surface car parks and tired plots is earmarked for a dense new neighbourhood of homes, workspace, leisure and hospitality wrapped around major public realm and green infrastructure.

The JV, which secured the site last April and is now in pre-application talks with Leeds City Council ahead of a public consultation in the first half of 2026.

Dan Spencer, Founder and CEO of Torsion Group, said: “This is a pivotal step in bringing the transformative vision for the Eastgate Quarter in Leeds to life.

“We are proud to have appointed such a strong and talented consultant team that brings together the best of Leeds-based and international expertise.

“The calibre of the team reflects the scale of our ambition for this development and our commitment to bring forward a scheme that supports the Council’s aspirations for inclusive economic growth and leaves a positive legacy for future generations.”
