Midland Mills

New proposals for Midland Mills involve redeveloping the building to provide contemporary office space with a striking 7,500sq ft glass atrium covering part of the building that dates back as far as the early 1800s.

The proposals for the 1.9 hectare site were developed by Leeds based Architecture 2B and include 21,400 sq ft of refurbished office space and a further 2,600 sq ft of new build office space. It is proposed that this will be complemented by 15 residential flats made up of eight 1-bedroom apartments and seven 2-bedroom apartments.

There is no allowance in the plans for car parking. However, there will be a provision of 24 covered cycle spaces for use by the residents of the scheme. The plans also show a suggested staircase leading up to a proposed elevated walkway formed across the top of the disused railway viaduct leading into the city railway station, connecting the whole urban village area with the city centre.
