Plans unveiled for Yorkshire’s largest tallest residential building

Plans have been submitted to Leeds City Council for a new 46 story tower in the Holbeck area of the city.

The application states the development, dubbed Two Springwell Gardens, would comprise of 604 one, two and three bed apartments. Alongside this it would feature 3,000 sq ft of commercial space and two sky gardens.

Plans have been submitted by CityLife, supported by ID Planning and Nick Brown Architects. The tower, which at 142 metres would be the largest in Yorkshire and one of the tallest outside of London, is the second phase of CityLife’s Springwell Gardens scheme. Phase one of the development is due to launch next year and provides 224 new apartments.

Citylife director Antony Georgallis said: “We are very pleased to submit our plans to further create a vibrant and sustainable community on Whitehall Road. We would like to thank Leeds City Council for working with us and to help develop our vision for the site as part of the planning process.

“Two Springwell Gardens has a bold visual identity thanks to a distinctive sale-like façade. By being brave with our design, if planning is granted, we will contribute towards a new skyline for the city. In addition, we will deliver vertical sky gardens, high specification apartments, private roof terraces and courtyards which will combine to deliver a powerful sense of place and community.”
