Casa by Moda acquires Leeds SFH scheme

Casa by Moda has acquired a 223-home single-family housing scheme in Leeds, located between Kirkstall and Headingley. The six-acre site, called Casa Abbey Wood, has been acquired from specialist sustainable housebuilder Artisan Real Estate. It will be Casa’s first single-family build-to-rent neighbourhood in Yorkshire. The homes will be a mix of one-to-three-bedroom apartments and two-to-four-bedroom houses. Artisan had originally acquired the site in March 2021 and started development later that year. Matt Townson, director of development and projects at Casa by Moda, said: “With demand for rental accommodation remaining high, our approach as a long-term owner and operator is to create not only high-quality, sustainable homes, but new communities that go beyond bricks and mortar by actively supporting the wellbeing of our residents. “Casa, Abbey Court marks a step change in single-family rental in Leeds, not only in terms of quality but also being able to offer residents leases of up to three years, something unheard of in the traditional rental market. During the current periods of economic uncertainty, we believe it’s important to be able to provide our residents a security of tenancy that can only come from our long-term approach. “Looking ahead we have ambitious plans for the future and are looking forward to collaborating with sustainable housebuilders like Artisan, as well as local authorities and landowners to deliver more homes across the UK, as we progress towards our target of securing 5,000 new homes by 2025.” To send feedback, e-mail akanksha.soni@eg.co.uk or tweet @AkankshaEG or @EGPropertyNews Photo from Casa by Moda
