Plans to breathe new life into the fire-ravaged Majestic building in Leeds city centre have taken a significant step forward. The Yorkshire Evening Post revealed at the end of June that property firm Rushbond was looking to transform the historic site into stylish offices. Now a planning application seeking formal permission for the six-storey scheme has been submitted to Leeds City Council.If the scheme gets the green light, the City Square-based site will become a 65,000 sq ft office development crowned by an eye-catching new roof. The ground floor could house leisure or café facilities while visitors will be greeted by a grand three-storey-high foyer space. A supporting document lodged on Rushbond’s behalf as part of the application reveals that turning the building into a hotel or using it for residential purposes were both considered but ultimately rejected.
