“We are confident this scheme will further enhance the regeneration of this area of Leeds.

“Our development programme, which focuses on both creating and improving investment properties from within our portfolio, and seeking new opportunities such as this one, offers considerable potential for value creation.

“The programme continues to progress well and is expected to drive increases in rental income and capital value in our portfolio.”
