Glenbrook has received planning permission from Leeds City Council for its £135m Whitehall Riverside BTR scheme in Leeds. The 500-apartment development, designed by Sheppard Robson, forms part of a wider £280m masterplan for the area.
The BTR scheme, which is targeting BREEAM Excellent, comprises two blocks of 16 and 19 storeys, in addition to a new riverside park and 4,500 sq ft of commercial accommodation at ground floor.
Tony O’Brien, partner at Sheppard Robson, said: “Whilst designing this new residential community, wellness was a priority. Green spaces provide areas to relax in the form of terraced gardens within the buildings or through the surrounding new public riverside park, which provides a new active ground floor to the River Aire. “Sustainability, through its drive for reduced carbon emissions, has also been at the forefront of the design through its thermal performance, heating and low carbon energy approach.”
