Thorpe Park Leeds[1] or simply Thorpe Park is a business park located near Brown Moor, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.[2] Companies that are headquartered in Thorpe Park include Northern Gas Networks,[3] Boost Drinks[4] and Pharmacy2U.[5] The Thorpe Park railway station is anticipated to open in the area in 2024.[6] The overall development of the business park is expected to be complete by 2035.[7]
History
[edit]In 2000, Scarborough Group International (SGI) began development on the business park.[8] The chairman of SGI Kevin McCabe said that they wanted to create the "largest and best out of town, mixed-use development that Yorkshire has ever seen".[8]
Phase two development at Thorpe Park Leeds was enabled following an investment deal with Legal & General Capital in 2015.[9]
The Springs retail park was opened in October 2018.[10] In May 2021, a life-size statue of Captain Tom Moore was unveiled at the park before being positioned at Tom Moore's birthplace in Keighley.[11] In August 2021, SGI began development on a £52 million office building which has been pre-let to credit management company, Lowell.[12]
