Development company, Urban Splash, see themselves as a regeneration company, specialising in taking the outdated and disused remnants of urban life past and giving them a contemporary twist. Or, indeed, as they say, "We make places to live, places that other people overlook. We turn old buildings worth saving into new buildings worth loving."

Saxton, the company's first Leeds-based project, will see two 1950s dilapidated ex-council blocks regenerated to form apartments, complete with working allotments and what’s thought to be the largest landscaped gardens of any city centre development.

The 410-unit development, situated on the Eastbank of Leeds city centre, will feature more than two acres of impressive gardens, including an orchard, wild flower meadows, rolling hills and 27 working allotments available to residents and the existing community.

Along with the vast open green space, Urban Splash will also be completely recycling the two buildings to form elements of the new look apartments, with the majority of the materials being re-used.
