The development was built around 1900 and designed by the theatre architect Frank Matcham, and originally included the Empire Palace Theatre, which was demolished in the 1960s. The exteriors are largely of faience from the Burmantofts Pottery, and the interiors of the arcades contain a number of mosaics and plentiful use of marble. The Quarter was restored in phases between 1989 and 1996, during which a coloured glass roof was erected over Queen Victoria Street.

Harvey Nichols's Leeds store opened in 1996; this was the first provincial move for the department store. It occupies the site of the former Empire Palace Theatre, and for a time Leeds was described as 'The Knightsbridge of the North'. In 2006, Louis Vuitton opened its first store to have a VIP area.
