Plans Approved For £210m X1 South Bank Project In Leeds
Plans have been approved for a £210 million mixed-use development scheme in Leeds.
The X1 South Bank project involves building 928 residential apartments, cafes and restaurants, in addition to office and retail space, on the former Evans Halshaw site on Hunslet Road.
Designed by DK Architects, Turley Associates, Planit-IE, Savills and Hydrock, the five-phase development is part of Leeds City Council's transformation project for the area. It is being delivered by developer X1 and property consultancy, Knight Knox.
Andy Phillips, commercial director at Knight Knox, said: "We're delighted that planning has been approved for X1 South Bank. It's a truly landmark development that's set to transform this currently vacant area of the city and we can't wait for it to start taking shape.
"We're committed to providing high quality residential and commercial property for investors, tenants and local communities, and X1 South Bank is no exception – it'll play an important role in Leeds' future."
Melissa Green, operations director at X1, said: "Leeds is booming and we're so proud to officially say we're going to play a significant part in its growth with X1 South Bank. Our whole design team has made it their mission to create a development that not only offers first-rate accommodation, but that will genuinely enhance the area for the wider Leeds population by providing striking modern architecture, exciting commercial units and vibrant public space."
