The external area of the development is also set to have extensive landscaping to provide greener living space in the city.
Sisk Managing Director for UK North, Alan Rodger, said: “I am delighted that Hub Group have chosen Sisk for their first residential development in Leeds – Latitude Purple. The development will help expand the city centre, and provide hundreds of quality homes for the local community. I am excited to bring Sisk’s extensive experience, culture and understanding of modern city living expectations to the development.”
Hub Group Managing Director, Damien Sharkey, said: “Sisk has a reputation for construction excellence, and shares HUB’s commitment to delivering great places to live, that benefit not just their residents but also the surrounding community. We are delighted to begin construction on our first scheme in Leeds, a key part of our strategy to expand to key ‘lifestyle’ cities – places with strong fundamentals and demand for high quality housing.”
