Leicester Waterside

Leicester Waterside is one of the most exciting large-scale mixed-use regeneration opportunities in the East Midlands.

The area comprises over 50 hectares of land in a prime city location.

Up to 40,000 m² of new offices (the first 10,000 m² is either built or under contract) and over 2,350 new homes are either completed or under construction or contract. These will complement recent leisure and infrastructure investments.

Grade A self-contained new build offices from 186 m² with dedicated parking, are now available on a freehold or leasehold basis.
