Glenbrook tops out at Whitehall Riverside
The 500-apartment build-to-rent Leeds development has reached its peak at 19 storeys.
Consisting of two towers, at 16 and 19 storeys, the building was designed by Sheppard Robson, constructed by Bowmer & Kirkland, and funded by Legal & General.
Whitehall Riverside forms part of a wider £280m project, which is being delivered by Town Centre Securities.
This wider plan was designed by Enjoy Design and includes proposals for a smart-enabled and energy efficient office building of 118,165 sq ft, and a multi-storey car park and travel hub for CitiPark. This will deliver one of the largest EV charging sites in the north of the UK.

Whitehall Riverside comprises a mix of one-, two- and three-bed apartments, with amenities for residents across the ground and first floors of the development.
The building also has 4,500 sq ft of commercial accommodation on the ground floor, with terrace gardens overlooking the River Aire.
Daniel Roberts, development director at Glenbrook, commented: “Whitehall Riverside is really starting to take shape and raise the bar for high quality, sustainable living accommodation in the city.
“The external façade is already embedding into its surroundings, and we’re excited to see the creation of well-connected living spaces with features such as a riverside park, open lawned space, and enhanced cycle routes.
“The construction programme is on schedule, and we look forward to announcing practical completion at the beginning of 2026.”
Adam Burney, head of annuity BTR for Legal & General’s Asset Management division continued: “This scheme represents another example of how pensions capital can be directed into the residential sector, increasing our housing supply and providing substantial social benefits.”
