Caddick Group has secured permission from Leeds City Council for the final phase of its Soyo development.
The plans, approved by the local authority’s City Plans Panel, comprise two blocks of student accommodation. Both will be a mix of studio and cluster flats of 360 and 291 units respectively.
Construction on the masterplan started in 2019 and the first scheme, New York Square, which comprises 551 studios and apartments, opened in 2022. The final two buildings, Madison East and Mercer West for Hestia, are due to open to residents in 2024.
Alistair Smith, associate director at Caddick Developments, said: “We are pleased to receive approval on both Blocks A and D from Leeds City Council. With this, we can now progress the final phase of Soyo.
“The consultation phase was very positive, and we received great responses to our proposals for both blocks which helped inform the final presentation of the plans to Leeds councillors. Through our ongoing collaboration with the local community and surrounding cultural institutions, we are already seeing the positive change that Soyo is bringing to this area of Leeds, cementing its status as an exemplar regeneration story for the city.”
