First look inside new neighbourhood

Luxury modern rental concept, The Junction, has arrived in Leeds. The vibrant new neighbourhood is set to transform the experience of renting in Leeds, offering 665 high quality homes with standout social spaces like lounges, co-working areas and private dining rooms.

The Whitehall development also offers the city’s most unique walk to work in the form of a carefully restored viaduct connecting The Junction with the heart of Leeds. Once fully developed, the landscaped viaduct will become a ‘secret garden’ that provides a peaceful 10-minute commute, a thriving event space and a place to connect with nature.

Residents also receive exclusive access to perks and discounts at a selection of hand-picked local, independent businesses, via the Neighbourhood Heroes reward scheme. The member businesses include thriving local businesses like barista coffee shop 200 Degrees, Wellington Place eatery Mad Frans and live music and cocktail venue The Domino Club.

Johnathan Lloyd, Community Manager, from The Junction, said: “We are passionate about creating a neighbourhood that is more than just a place to live. We’ve cultivated spaces and experiences that appeal to whichever ‘you’ the day brings, alongside built-in practicalities that offer much-needed peace of mind.

“We’ve rejected dreary hallways and sad common rooms in favour of light, airy and stylish spaces that reflect the actual needs of busy modern professionals. Whether you want to meet new friends at one of our social events, hunker down in a co-working space with great Wi-Fi and coffee or host a private dinner party, you can do it all here.

“All this is just the beginning. In development are pocket parks, five a side sports pitches, landscaped gardens, and detailed plans to make the most of the historic viaduct archways. Down the line The Junction is set to be one of the most exciting waterside destinations in the city.”
