Being built on behalf of Highline Investments, the build-to-rent scheme will include the development of five new blocks varying from 12 to 22 floors.

All the housing units will be a private rental scheme and will be available in one-, two- and three-bedroom options.

The new scheme is located adjacent to the Leeds-Liverpool canal. It uses the Victorian viaduct of the defunct Leeds and Thirsk railway to create a new plaza providing seamless entry to the city centre.

Galliford Try CEO Bill Hocking said: “We are delighted to be able to start work on such a prestigious development in the heart of Leeds.

“This scheme is a significant investment in the current economic environment and our excellent track record in the high-density residential building has led Highline to place their trust in Galliford Try to deliver for their customers.”

In June this year, Galliford Try’s Investments business and the UK development arm of Chinese-based CIMC submitted planning application for a build-to-rent apartment development at Flax Place in Leeds.

The proposed plans include the development of 350 build-to-rent apartments in two tower buildings of 15 and 11 storeys, respectively.
