Heeton has acquired a 2.45 acre site in Leeds, one of the largest cities in the United Kingdom and part of the government-driven development initiative known as the Northern Powerhouse. Currently earmarked for a mixed-use scheme, the site is a high profile component of a landmark regional regeneration plan aimed at enhancing the Leeds urban hub.
In 2016 work commenced on the construction of a 192 bedroomed hotel, which is the first of a series of development projects planned for the site. Heeton has entered into an agreement with international hotel chain Hilton to operate the hotel under the brand’s new-generation limited service badge, Hampton by Hilton.
