Work is set to start
Work is due to start on site this month for 54North Homes to build 58 affordable and sustainable homes on Railway Street in central Leeds, close to Quarry House.
They will also have a flexible layout, including workspace areas to accommodate the increase in home working. Outside will be landscaped with grass and trees to enhance biodiversity and each of the ground floor apartments will have their own garden.The £12m scheme is the first new-build development to be built by affordable housing provider 54North Homes, which manages over 3,000 homes throughout Yorkshire.
“There is a significant need for more affordable housing in central Leeds and this scheme will regenerate a currently unused area of land into a vibrant living space close to the excellent transport links and amenities the city centre has to offer.” The council’s grant support to the scheme is funded through pooled financial contributions towards affordable housing delivery secured in planning agreements on developments across the city and means that all the new homes can be let at low-cost social rent. An average of nearly 500 affordable homes have been delivered in the city over each of the last five years, with that annual figure expected to rise to around 750 over the next three years.
