The scheme, being delivered by Keepmoat, forms part of a long-established partnership with Homes England to deliver new homes that will replace approximately five acres of brownfield land that once housed Seacroft Hospital.

The 758-home development has been built over four phases, with the first three phases delivered in partnership with Strata. Work on the final phase of the transformation has now begun and will create the final 72 new mixed tenure homes to the project.

The project has also created a raft of new local jobs, training and apprenticeship opportunities, further boosting the local economy. Chris Clingo, regional managing director at Keepmoat, Yorkshire West, said “We’re thrilled to be continuing delivery under the Leeds City Council partnership to deliver quality, sustainable homes for the latest phase of the Timeless development.

“The development forms part of a wider regeneration project in East Leeds which is aiming to provide significant opportunity for the city’s growth. It has been a privilege to watch the new communities begin to flourish and it’s extremely rewarding to hear positive feedback from residents and breathe new life into the Seacroft area.”

Andrew Macfarlane, project manager for Homes England, the Government’s Housing and Regeneration Agency added: “We are pleased to see the start of the final phase of the Seacroft Hospital development.”

Construction at the Timeless development is due to complete by summer 2026.
