UKREiiF | ‘Do the boring stuff well’ – the keys to achieving local vision

With McLaren, Vastint and Caddick all advancing projects in the area, the council has named Glenbrook as preferred bidder for a half-acre plot at Meadow Lane.  

Edenthorpe, on the outskirts of Doncaster, will be the site of a £137m Avant Homes development covering 81 acres.

Work on the housebuilder’s £66m redevelopment of the Seacroft site in east Leeds has started, taking the project to almost 800 homes.  

A deal worth £17.6m has seen Homes For Students welcome the new shareholder, which has taken a 49% stake in the business.

The Yorkshire property giant has signed a memorandum of understanding with the government’s housing and regeneration agency to accelerate the delivery of the 1,900-home Leeds masterplan.

The developer’s 375-home build-to-rent project in the city’s South Bank, consented in 2022, has a funder.

Leeds City Council has approved McLaren Property’s 330-bedspace student accommodation project, which will include the refurbishment and conversion of the grade two-listed building and the addition of new wings.

Mike Gorman will join the firm to lead residential capital markets activity across the UK’s core regional cities, based from the Leeds office.

Aire Park is one of the most significant development masterplans to come forward in Leeds this century, with the potential to provide jobs, homes and destination activities on a massive scale as the city’s aspirations for the South Bank advance. Place Yorkshire spoke to Simon Schofield, head of development north at Vastint UK.
