Princes’ Exchange is one of the most striking recent additions to the Cityscape of Leeds. As part of a larger scheme which includes the restoration of the listed Art Deco North Concourse of Leeds City Station, the creation of a new waterside piazza, and a large multi-storey car park, the 10,000 sq m (107,000 sq ft) office has provided the Leeds Headquarters for DLA, the National Legal Practice.
careyjones architects has a long standing relationship with Teesland Development Co Ltd, and the two companies have worked closely together on a range of large scale commercial developments in many locations throughout Britain.
With Teesland’s joint venture partners, Railtrack, careyjones architects designed and delivered this scheme which has made one of the most significant contributions to the regeneration of the centre of Leeds, and the redevelopment of the riverside as the new ‘west end’ business district of the city.
Princess Exchange won the BCO Award for the Best Office Building in the North of England 2001. This has become a signature of careyjones architects’ architecture, where superb lighting enhances the high quality design.
Princes Exchange is a landmark in Leeds that is located next to the River Aire and the railway station, and can be seen when you arrive in the City by train.
