UK: Developer Glenbrook has been granted planning consent for a £140 million, 618-unit BTR scheme at Kirkstall Road, Leeds.
Located on the banks of the River Aire, more than half of the 5.1-acre site will be allocated for public open space, including a new riverside park.
The homes will be set across five brick-clad mid-rise buildings which are designed with colonnaded walkways along defined ground floor levels
Designed by Carey Jones Chapman Tolcher, the development will include more than 10,000 square feet of amenity space including a residents’ lounge, a coworking hub, a gym, 3,800 square feet of commercial space and 6,000 square feet of private external terraces.
Daniel Roberts, senior development manager at Glenbrook, said: “We identified this prominent former brownfield site as having huge potential and achieving planning will enable us to deliver a highly sustainable scheme which will act as a catalyst for the wider regeneration of Kirkstall Road. With planning now secured, we will be looking to commence work on site later this year.”
The project team includes Avison Young (planning), Curtins (structural), Abacus (costs), and Crookes Walker Consulting (MEP).
