The latest plans for Caddick’s SOYO Development at the heart of Leeds’ cultural quarter have now been submitted to Leeds City Council.
The proposal for Block D seeks to bring high-quality student residential accommodation to SOYO, comprised of 291 beds. Designed by Leeds-based Fuse Architects, the accommodation will include a mix of studio and cluster flats.
Residents will benefit from a range of amenities, such as; 24hr gym and wellness initiatives, keyfob secure entry, dedicated study and collaboration spaces, and roof-top gardens. The development will also complete a further section of the wider landscaping scheme, including a feature pocket park zone.
Alistair Smith, associate director at Caddick Developments, said: “SOYO is a landmark development for Leeds and we’re proud to have brought forward these latest plans for the neighbourhood. We’ve worked closely with partners and local residents to deliver a project that further enhances the area, bringing additional footfall to the cultural quarter and creating a great place to live and work.”
The first phase of SOYO, Moda New York Square, opened in autumn last year. Phase two, a development of 331 build to rent (BTR) apartments is currently under construction for Hestia.
Once finished SOYO Leeds will create over 1 million square feet of development, incorporating new shops and restaurants, and including some of the largest landscaped spaces in the city.
The application has been managed by ID Planning.
