Popular rental brand UNCLE is opening its highly anticipated first building in Leeds.
UNCLE Leeds will offer 463 brand new apartments for renters located on Whitehall Road in Leeds city centre. With a strong presence in Manchester and London, UNCLE is bringing its mission of ‘taking the lord attitude out of being a landlord’ to Leeds. Set to open its doors in early spring, UNCLE Leeds comprises 69 studio apartments, 163 one-bedroom apartments, 208 two-bedroom apartments and 23 three-bedroom apartments. UNCLE is known for its emphasis on design with interior designers behind the likes of Soho House.
UNCLE Leeds has bespoke, designed amenity spaces, which include a cinema room, residents’ gym and Peloton room, performance room, and 2 co-working spaces, for communal or quiet work. Unlike any other apartment block in Leeds, it also includes a resident-only bowling alley. Other amenities include a rooftop terrace, outdoor space, high speed WiFi and secure car park and bike storage.
UNCLE Leeds is pet-friendly, reflecting a common need for many who are looking to rent in the city. Residents at UNCLE buildings are known to start pet sitting and pet walking groups, among other social activities. Inside UNCLE’s apartments, renters will find Architectural Digest-worthy designs, including BoConcept furniture and Bosch appliances.
The UNCLE brand is well known for its brand promises, which include the ‘love it or leave it’ initiative, allowing tenants to cut their lease within the first two weeks, no questions asked, if the apartment doesn’t feel like a true fit. Additionally, UNCLE also offers its ‘sleep around’ option, which lets its renters swap flats or location any time they like (availability dependent).
Ryan Prince, Founder of UNCLE Leeds commented:
“We’re really excited to be launching UNCLE Leeds and continue to look towards investing in rental solutions in the North. Cities are the heart and soul of our world, and that is why we continue to invest in quality city living. In today’s hybrid world, your neighbours are more than your neighbours, they are your work-from-home-colleagues, which is why we have invested in multiple, flexible co-working spaces, social areas and even a resident-only bowling alley. We want renters to feel respected, looked after, and even a little bit loved and we think UNCLE Leeds does just that.”
Owned by Realstar, UNCLE is a new kind of rental housing brand built on a promise to take the ‘lord’ attitude out of being a landlord. With developments across London and Manchester, UNCLE is launching in Leeds in Spring 2024. UNCLE promises no absentee landlords, phantom repairs, or 24-hour ‘service’ that really means 24-hour hold music. Instead UNCLE owns and manages all its locations and maintains them like their own homes.
Apartments are designed by architects like Richard Rogers and the team behind Soho House and fitted to incredibly high standards. UNCLE creates places where residents feel respected, looked after and even a little bit loved. Places they’d be happy to call home. Five words say it better than any others. Renting, as it should be.
Starting from £1,100 for a studio apartment, UNCLE apartments are designed to be a perfect fit for those looking to move into the city, with convenience on their doorstep. Situated on the edge of the city centre, UNCLE Leeds is located to the west of the centre next to Leeds and Liverpool Canal and is a 15-minute walk from Leeds Train Station.
