News
The next phase of UK’s largest new public park opened at Aire Park, Leeds.

Part of Leeds’ 24-acre mixed use development, the park brings 6200m2 of new green space to the Leeds South Bank. It's a proud moment for Phillip Porter, Principal Landscape Architect from Planit's Leeds Studio, and his team, who have led the vision for Vastint UK. He comments:

“Aire Park is a unique project in the UK. One that provides a once in a generation opportunity to reshape a vast disused industrial part of a city and leave an unparalleled gift to current and future generations.

The Landscape Architect vision for the space is a perfect demonstration of Planit’s regenerative commitment and it’s been an enormous privilege to work alongside Vastint and a huge array of consultants to deliver the latest phase. We’re looking forward to building the next.”

On completion, the Aire Park development as a whole will span 24 acres of the city’s South Bank, delivering an expansive eight-acre public park, over 1 million sq ft of commercial space and over 1,350 high-quality homes with easy access to Leeds city centre and convenient transport routes.
