Contractor Clegg Construction has completed an 11-storey build-to-rent development in Leeds city centre.

Delivered for property developer Rise Homes, the £40m scheme features 185 apartments and is situated on Regent Street in Mabgate.

Spinners Yard – the second build-to-rent project undertaken by Clegg Construction in partnership with Rise Homes – recently came under the spotlight at UKREiiF, the UK’s real estate investment and infrastructure forum, when delegates were given a chance to view the scheme.

Now an open house event is being held on 7th June, as Spinners Yard comes to market, with residents able to move into the studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments from mid-June.

Clegg Construction MD Michael Sims said:

“We are very pleased to have handed over our second development for Rise Homes, which follows delivery of The Ironworks in Sheffield – another 11-storey residential scheme."

“UKREiiF was the perfect opportunity to showcase Spinners Yard and we were proud to have been involved in shining the spotlight on this outstanding development which has created new homes in the centre of Leeds."

“Clegg Construction has forged a strong partnership with Rise Homes during the delivery of Spinners Yard and The Ironworks, illustrating our commitment to our clients and their developments. We hope that residents living in these two developments enjoy being a part of these respective communities.”

Rise Homes has appointed CBRE as the letting agent for the scheme. CBRE has already witnessed high levels of interest thanks to the sought-after location and high-quality amenities at Spinners Yard.

The ground floor boasts enclosed parking for cars, motorbikes and cycles, as well as an entrance lobby, reception and centre management office.

The development also offers exceptional residential amenities that have become synonymous with the build-to-rent market in recent years, including an in-house fitness suite, residents' terrace and rooftop terrace, as well as a lounge, private dining room, breakout area and workspaces, creating the ideal space for occupiers to live, work and play.

In addition, the building is connected to the Leeds PIPES district heating network - a £62m initiative aiming to reduce emissions in the city. The project saved approximately 6,467 tonnes in 2024, up from 5,900 in 2023.

Sarah Snape, MD of Rise Homes, said:

"Our Spinners Yard development has transformed the former brownfield site on Regent Street. Rise Homes is looking forward to welcoming our first residents and creating a thriving community."

“The carefully considered amenity spaces, spacious apartments and ample outdoor areas represent our company ethos - offering our residents spacious, sustainable and well-managed accommodation."

“We are focused on delivering an exceptional and connected resident experience in the BTR sector. We are thrilled to bring this new development to the area, and it has been a pleasure to work alongside our fantastic specialist partners on this project."

The project partners for Rise Homes for Spinners Yard were Clegg Construction, Gresham House, 5Plus, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, Dalbergia, Leeds City Council and CBRE.
