James Lindridge, Development Director for Olympian Homes commented: “We are committed to delivering high quality developments. Delivering our first building that’s Net Zero Carbon Build alongside RG Construction is a great achievement, and one we are committed to replicate.

"The scheme will help to meet the considerable demand for student housing in Leeds and we hope will set a quality benchmark for student accommodation in the area.”.

Olympian Homes is also developing other major student accommodation developments, including the Arena Point site in Leeds. It has recently put forward plans to redevelop the former Mecca bingo hall in York.
