Leeds-based Rushbond Group and residential specialist Gold & Amber have submitted plans for a 1,000-home development at Leeds City Village.
The developers will deliver the scheme at the former Marsh Lane Goods Yard, the site of Leeds’ first railway station.
Leeds City Village will also incorporate a mix of commercial, leisure and amenity space, including a village green. It has been designed by Leeds-based Brewster Bye Architects, with Lichfields as planning consultant.
The site is located between Marsh Lane and Shannon Street, on the East side of the city centre.
Sophie Brown, director at Gold & Amber, said: “In addition to creating much-needed homes and creative, flexible workspaces on a key site in Leeds City Council’s development plan, a major feature of this scheme is how it will drive further investment in this part of the city and the surrounding area.”
Mark Finch, director at Rushbond, added: “It will also expand the City Centre, drive further regeneration in the area and, crucially, connect the site’s neighbouring residential communities to both the Kirkgate and Quarry Hill districts, which are both currently benefiting from significant investment across a number of high-profile projects.”
