Join Marcus Emmerson, IG Masonry Support, and Matthew Seddon, Brewster Bye Architects, as they present Saxton Lane, a 20-storey residential development delivering 204 apartments in Leeds.
The Saxton Lane development supports the city’s ambition to significantly increase the provision of high-quality, sustainable housing. Located on a brownfield site, the project transforms previously underused land into a vibrant new community, contributing to wider regeneration efforts and addressing growing local demand for affordable living.
The scheme comprises a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments, all designed to meet NDSS standards, with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency and accessibility. The building is fully electric, incorporating low-carbon technologies including photovoltaic panels and heat pump systems, while a significant proportion of homes are designed as accessible and adaptable dwellings.
Architecturally, the development responds to its urban context through a contemporary residential form, complemented by a 15th-floor amenity space and landscaped garden that enhances resident wellbeing and creates a sense of community at height. Through its considered design and sustainable approach, Saxton Lane demonstrates how large-scale residential developments can balance density, quality, and environmental performance in the modern built environment.
East Bank Urban Village will breathe new life into an underused part of the Hull, unlocking its potential and turning it into a vibrant residential-led neighbourhood. The scheme will look to deliver up to 850 homes in a mix of high-quality apartments and townhouses. The initial phase will focus on affordable housing, with future phases introducing build-to-rent (BTR) homes. With a mix of housing types, alongside green spaces, commercial areas, and revitalised heritage assets, East Bank Urban Village will support a diverse and inclusive community for individuals, families, and households at all stages of life.
The plans also include reinstating the riverside walkway, improving connectivity with new walking and cycling routes through the site, and creating space for shops, cafés, and local businesses. Drawing on the character of Hull’s historic Old Town, East Bank Urban Village will be a neighbourhood that reflects the city’s heritage while offering a contemporary, connected lifestyle in the heart of the city.
