Project Overview
A vibrant place for people to live, work and socialise in Leeds city centre.
A large-scale residential and commercial development comprising two blocks - 16 and 18 storeys high. The buildings provide a mix of Grade A commercial units and car parking on the ground floor, with residential - 1, 2 and 3-bed apartments - on the upper floors.
The overall vision of the masterplan is to provide a stunning place for people to live, work and socialise in the city centre.
Having achieved planning permission in May 2023, the project is due for completion in 2026.
The Challenge
The development is on a highly constrained city-centre site. There is limited access due to a bridge with a weight limit to the west, a river to the south, electrical tunnels with a weight limit to the east and new developments to the North. The site is also located in an EA flood zone 3a.
Our Solution
Within our design, we gave consideration to limiting structural elements to those that could be delivered over the Blue Truss Bridge.
Project Highlights
• Constrained city centre site
• Flood zone 3a, adjacent to a river
• Large-scale, high-rise residential development
• BREEAM Excellent (Target)
