The Leeds Partnership was developed as a joint venture between Hammerson UK Properties and Town Centre Security to deliver the Eastgate and Harewood Quarter Scheme. This scheme was developed between 2006-2007. The partnership proposed a compulsory purchase order for lands totalling 8.835 ha within the city centre of Leeds, affecting 131 separate plots and several hundred owners, leasers and occupiers.

The redevelopment of this area was to turn derelict city-centre land into a major mixed use development. The proposed development was to include 117,000 sqm of retail space, a new department store, cafes, restaurants and leisure uses, a cinema, 600 residential units with 15% affordability, a new public realm and the pedestrianisation of Eastgate. The refurbishment and repair of listed buildings was also included in the proposed plans. This new scheme was designed to raise the international profile of Leeds, narrow the gap between disadvantaged groups and other communities within the city, and develop the regional capital generating power of the area.
