Vastint UK has secured planning permission for the first homes at Aire Park, at Leeds’ South Bank.
The approved plans will see the development of 418 build to rent homes across seven buildings on the corner of Crown Point Road and Bowman Lane.
Featuring a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, the new buildings, designed by Cartwright Pickard, also include 44 affordable homes which will be the first to be delivered by the developer.
The seven buildings will be surrounded by landscaping, including woodland courtyards.
Simon Schofield, Head of Development North at Vastint UK, said: “We’re pleased to have received planning permission to deliver these much-needed homes to the City of Leeds.
“The first residential buildings are another major milestone in the future of the development and these will be the first of over 1,350 new homes within the completed Aire Park.
“We’re now preparing to start on site later this year, and looking forward to seeing the Aire Park community grow and evolve as it develops its unique identity and place within the city.”
Vastint UK is targeting to complete the delivery of Aire Park by 2032, at which point the area will be home to over 11,000 workers and up to 3,000 residents, and will be centred around an expansive, eight-acre public park, one of the largest new city centre green spaces in the country.
