Flagship development complete at gateway to East Leeds Extension
Redrow has handed over the final property to a new homeowner at Thorpe Park in Leeds, marking another milestone as the homebuilder plays its part to transform East Leeds.
The venture has brought 292 new homes to a large site to the east of Leeds city centre, creating a thriving new community with shops, entertainment and green spaces on the doorstep.
Located close to junction 46 of the M1, and covering around 8.2 hectares, Redrow’s Thorpe Park development forms the gateway to the wider East Leeds extension – a 5,000-home masterplan for the area.
John Handley, managing director at Redrow Yorkshire, said: “Since construction began at Thorpe Park in March 2019, the development has become one of Leeds’ most sought-after residential locations.
“We’ve worked hard to incorporate open spaces and nature between the homes, to support the health and wellbeing of homeowners. Linked to Thorpe Park’s planning consent, we’ve also contributed over £1,088,600 to the local community.”
The payments include over £1 million towards education, £50,000 for ecological mitigation and over £32,000 towards residential bus infrastructure, a car club, Metro travel card contributions and a residential travel plan, as part of Redrow’s community commitments.
John added: “Our section 106 contributions are another way new developments can provide a boost for the local economy, while delivering high-quality housing.
“We’re proud to be playing our part in the transformation of East Leeds. Close to Thorpe Park, we are making great progress on our 200-home Centurion Fields development. Subject to planning, we also look forward to bringing up to 649 new homes to the area across two further sites off Red Hall Lane and Manston Lane.”
Centurion Fields features a selection of two, three and four-bedroom designs from Redrow’s popular Heritage Collection.
Properties include the two-bedroom Ledbury and four-bedroom Harrogate, which features an open-plan kitchen dining and family room, with a separate lounge, utility and cloakroom. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, an en-suite and dressing area off the main bedroom and a family bathroom.
Residents will benefit from being just a short walk away from the planned new Thorpe Park Railway Station. Three show homes The Harrogate, Stratford Lifestyle and The Cambridge are open to the public at Centurion Fields from Friday to Tuesday.
