AN E NTI RE LY N EW N E IG H BOU RHOOD

Our vision is to create a vibrant new community in Leeds, inspired by the ‘model villages’ of Saltaire as well as taking influences from contemporary Scandinavian living.

Kirkstall Forge nestles in a valley of the River Aire, with a canal and river flowing through the site, surrounded by extensive woodland. Striking modernist homes and state-of-the-art offices, that combine the very best of city and country.

Kirkstall Forge. Different by design.

“ What does great British architecture look like? Pretty much anything by Feilden Clegg Bradley. And that’s a fact.”

Rory Olcayto The Architects Journal 19 June 2014

800 YEARSOF HISTORY

Kirkstall Forge has been a site of industrial significance since the 12th Century, contributing hugely to Leeds’ reputation as an engineering pioneer.

In fact, this was the longest continually used industrial site in the UK. Kirkstall Forge has always changed with the times, from the early days of Cistercian monks forging iron to the Industrial Revolution. It later moved into the manufacturing of motor vehicle axles and steel bars which it continued to do until the site closed in 2003.

Coupled with the new Kirkstall Forge train station, which opened in 2016, the development will breathe life back into this historic site, re-establishing Kirkstall as an integral and prosperous part of the city.
