A large building in Leeds city centre that formerly housed Direct Line could be converted into hundreds of apartments under new plans.
Watkin Jones Group have applied for planning permission to convert number 42 on the Headrow into 230 co-living studios. The proposed development also includes 19 large shared kitchens and shared space for socialising.
The application, submitted to Leeds City Council, lays out how developers intend for residents to live in studios with their own kitchens. They will then also be able to use the larger shared kitchens, as well as communal spaces such as a gym, lounge, co-working space, and cinema.
