History

In 2000, Scarborough Group International (SGI) began development on the business park. The chairman of SGI Kevin McCabe said that they wanted to create the "largest and best out of town, mixed-use development that Yorkshire has ever seen".

Phase two development at Thorpe Park Leeds was enabled following an investment deal with Legal & General Capital in 2015.

The Springs retail park was opened in October 2018. In May 2021, a life-size statue of Captain Tom Moore was unveiled at the park before being positioned at Tom Moore's birthplace in Keighley. In August 2021, SGI began development on a £52 million office building which has been pre-let to credit management company, Lowell.
