About Holbeck.

Holbeck is the creative and digital hub of Leeds — the neighbourhood immediately south-west of the city centre has undergone a transformation from Victorian industrial estate to the citys most vibrant creative district. The Sunninghaus and Neon have attracted a roster of creative agencies, digital studios, and tech companies to a cluster of converted warehouse and industrial buildings.

The civic and cultural anchors in the area reinforce the creative identity: Leeds Becket Universitys Rose Bowl is nearby, the West Yorkshire Playhouse sits on the edge of Holbeck, and the Holbeck Urban Village planning designation protects the character of the area while enabling appropriate development. The annual Leeds Digital Festival attracts over 10,000 attendees to the areas venues.

Businesses choose Holbeck for the creative environment — converted Victorian warehouses with exposed brick and original features at rental rates significantly below city-centre equivalents. The density of creative agencies and digital studios creates a talent pool that attracts further businesses to the cluster. The proximity to Leeds station (10 minutes on foot) keeps the area accessible.
