Landmark Leeds city centre building in The Headrow could be turned into hundreds of flats
A large building in Leeds city centre that formerly housed Direct Line could be converted into hundreds of apartments under new plans.
The application, submitted to Leeds City Council, lays out how developers intend for residents to live in studios with their own kitchens. They will then also be able to use the larger shared kitchens, as well as communal spaces such as a gym, lounge, co-working space, and cinema.Part of the planning statement submitted reads: "At its heart the proposal will provide an appealing living environment suited to modern lifestyles.
"Co-Living is strategically targeted at younger generations, particularly young professionals, who wish to live in modern, high quality, professionally managed accommodation in the centre of vibrant, progressive cities. The Co-Living model aims to provide something that does not exist in the housing market at present, creating high-quality accommodation alongside an established sense of community.
