Bruntwood SciTech is set to expand one of Leeds’ innovation hubs with the redevelopment of 100 Wellington Street, which will be reborn as 3 West Village.
The building will be integrated into the wider West Village campus, Bruntwood SciTech’s £20m innovation-led development launched in September 2024.
Once complete, it will offer 44,500 sq ft of flexible, design-led workspace aimed at creative, digital and innovation-focused businesses, with 17,000 sq ft still available to let.
The area has already attracted global names including InsurTech QBE and Australian FinTech PEXA.
Bruntwood SciTech – a joint venture between Bruntwood, Legal & General and Greater Manchester Pension Fund – said the next phase underlines its commitment to Leeds and its role in supporting the city’s tech and innovation economy.
Customers will gain full access to the wider West Village amenities, including RESET Leeds, as well as Second City Coffee, large breakout and meeting spaces, premium showers and changing facilities, and what Bruntwood SciTech describes as the largest secure cycle storage facility in Leeds.
Companies moving into 3 West Village will also plug into Bruntwood SciTech’s UK-wide network of more than 1,100 innovation-led businesses across 11 campuses and 31 city centre hubs.
“The transformation of 100 Wellington Street is an exciting development for the campus and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering the space that Leeds’ innovation economy needs to thrive,” said Andrew Cooke, regional director – Leeds for Bruntwood SciTech.
“West Village has already established itself as a destination for ambitious businesses, and this expansion will allow us to welcome more organisations into this thriving community.
“Leeds has built a reputation as a rapidly growing technology and innovation hub with a strong talent pipeline drawn from leading universities in the city and surrounding regional institutions.
“Therefore, it’s crucial that we continue to play our part in providing the workspace and environment that the city’s innovative businesses need to grow and succeed.’’
