Town Centre Securities<\/a> (TCS) has submitted a planning application for a 17-storey office and retail development at the Merrion Centre in Leeds<\/h2>\n

Over the last ten years,\u00a0TCS\u00a0have undertaken a phased redevelopment and refurbishment of the\u00a0Merrion Centre\u00a0transforming it into a busy, vibrant, mixed-use destination. The company has invested more than \u00a370m of capital in the last five years delivering a number of projects including the completion of the development of\u00a0Merrion House, an\u00a0ibis Styles Hotel\u00a0with adjoining\u00a0Arnold\u2019s Restaurant & Bar\u00a0and a refurbished 1,100 space\u00a0CitiPark\u00a0car park.<\/p>\n

The proposed new 17-storey office and retail building will sit above the Home Bargains store with plans including the creation of a new central welcome hub, co-working offices and a brand-new head office building for StepChange Debt Charity.<\/p>\n

The building, currently known as 100MC, will offer over 10,000 sq ft of ground floor retail space for a refurbished Home Bargains store and 168,810 sq ft of commercial office space over 16 levels. It is anticipated that 100MC will be the place of work for circa 2,000 people.<\/p>\n

Edward Ziff, Chairman and Chief Executive of\u00a0TCS, said: \u201cWe have identified considerable latent opportunity within our Merrion estate which we believe provides a platform for future growth and we are therefore delighted to submit this important planning application<\/a>, launching our second 10-year strategy for the Merrion Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe firmly believe we are on the right track with Merrion and will continue to invest in and develop the asset, broadening our offer and delivering more for Leeds from this important mixed-use city centre destination.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also keen to communicate our unique history, achievements and transformation of the ultimate sustainable Centre, nationally and internationally and we are excited by this next phase.\u201d<\/p>\n
