We're working in partnership with Guinness Partnership to transform a former car dealership site in Leeds Southbank into high-quality, energy-efficient housing. Points Cross will provide over 494 affordable apartments, integrated public transport links, EV infrastructure and landscaped open spaces, all helping regenerate the area sustainably.
The Points Cross development, located within the Southbank Regeneration and Innovation District in Leeds, is a transformative brownfield housing project that will deliver a total of 494 affordable homes across two phases.
