Swanky spiral staircase added to new Halifax town centre leisure and shopping development
A stylish addition has been made to the new retail and leisure development currently under construction in Halifax town centre.
As these photos show, a swanky spiral staircase can now be seen at ‘Westgate Phase II’ – an expansion of Westgate Quarter.
The whole development is looking nearer completion, having transformed the area that formerly housed Horton House, between Union Street and Horton Street.
Once finished, it will create 12 new premises for a mix of retail, leisure and office uses.


One of the known new tenants is “home-from-home cafe bars” Loungers, who have hundreds of branches across the country and have been advertising for staff and submitted planning and licence applications to Calderdale Council for a new Halifax eatery.
O&C Management Services is leading the project, which is described as a “high-end shopping and leisure destination” with three floors, anchored around Westgate Arcade.
Westgate Arcade shopping centre was built in 2007.
When plans for this expansion were approved in 2018, the project’s leaders said their vision was to develop the whole of the Westgate Quarter into a unique, clearly identifiable retail zone within Halifax town centre.
