Kirkgate Regeneration
New homes planned for Kirkgate
Subject to planning approval, more than 200 modern, high quality apartments are planned for Kirkgate. The new homes will be built on the site of the former Wilko store and the surrounding area.
Where will the new houses be built?
The site is on the east side of Kirkgate. It runs from the old Wilko building up to the former ABC cinema site.
The Harewood Arms pub is a well known local landmark. It is one of the few Edwardian pubs left in the city. This building will not be affected by the plans. Several other buildings in the area will also remain.
A key city centre location
This site was identified in the city centre masterplan. And is a key location for new housing and will help improve an important entrance into the city.
What happens next
A planning application is expected to be submitted in early 2027.
