Igloo forges ahead with residential site in Holbeck Urban Village
A RESIDENTIAL scheme in Holbeck Urban Village is set to go ahead after planning was secured.
Igloo Regeneration, which recently sold the Round Foundry, a 246,114 sq ft mixed-use site in the area for £31.5m, is forging ahead with the scheme, dubbed the ‘Ironworks’.
The residential site will include 58 apartments and 15 townhouses, as well as 1,400 sq ft of retail space.
Work is due to start onsite in February 2016.
Leeds City Council’s planning committee commended the designs by Leeds-based Nick Brown Architects.

The ‘Ironworks’, located within Leeds’s South Bank which is set for major redevelopment, will also have greater connectivity to the city centre via the new southern entrance to Leeds railway station, due to open in December 2015.
Honor Massarella, director at Igloo: “We’re delighted and excited to have secured planning permission for this scheme, into which we have put our hearts and souls.
“Everything, from the earliest sketches, to the choice of building materials and creative interiors, has been designed in response to the flexible ways that people live today – we’ve tried hard to think ahead for those that will eventually live here.”
Leeds-based project partners working on the scheme include building consultants, Jones Hargreaves; planning consultancy ID Planning; landscape architects, Laand, and engineers, MRB.
