Development requirements are constantly evolving for many reasons (the Environment, Affordability and Lifestyle Changes, to name just a few) and the need to continually ensure that Schemes remain “cutting edge” and “relevant” is crucial. This is clearly reflected in our latest Commercial Development at Carlton Hill in Leeds.
The 15-story building has 604 rooms, ranging from 2–8 rooms per apartment. The flats have en suite bathrooms, double beds, desks, and chairs. The shared communal areas include modern kitchens with washer/dryers, large sofas, coffee tables, smart TVs, six sky lounges, and two roof terraces.
The development was completed in September 2023 and is one of the most sustainable student schemes in the city, having secured an EPC A rating. It was designed and built to reduce carbon emissions, both in terms of the buildings’ construction and operation, and is an all-electric development.

Key Info
- 604 Beds
- Leased by Unipol
- Landscaped Sky Garden
Carlton Hill is a multi-million-pound Purpose Built Student Accommodation scheme. Built on the Site of a previous 239-bed Student Scheme, this Development is sustainable, comprises 604 beds over 15 floors and is directly opposite the Main University Campuses.
Student needs have changed tremendously over the last few years and a considerable amount of consideration has therefore been given to the design, social circulation, and interaction for the wellbeing of the future Student Intake.
Whilst this ensures that their physical health is carefully considered, Mental Health is now equally important and an increasing issue for Students (especially first years) and therefore has had a major influence on the building.
It has larger than standard bedrooms and living spaces, incorporates several fully landscaped “sky gardens” and a roof terrace to allow for social activities, fresh air, and relaxation. All aimed at Student Wellbeing.
Leased by Unipol, the Development houses students exclusively nominated by the University of Leeds for the long term at prices which are affordable to the mainstream student population studying in Leeds.
