A beautiful new neighbourhood has taken shape in the heart of Leeds, with 665 rental apartments, green space, communal areas and a huge range of perks.
The Junction is a new living concept for the city, built just 10 minutes from the centre of town in Whitehall.
The pioneering, pet-friendly neighbourhood features gorgeous apartments, ranging in size from one bed to three, available either fully furnished or unfurnished for you to make your own stamp on your home.
And the range of facilities and perks that come with these new rental flats is staggering.
Bedrooms in the apartments at The Junction in Leeds
Anyone who rents an apartment at The Junction will receive discounts to use at local restaurants and bars, plus access to the green spaces, including gardens and balconies, that have been included within the complex.
Amenities include a 24-hour team on site seven days a week to offer support, 72-hour maintenance guarantee, parcel care at concierge, resident parking and cycle storage.
On top of that, there’s super-fast broadband, built-in appliances, co-working spaces, two private dining rooms, on-site bars and restaurants, and resident lounge areas, plus apartments that are totally pet-friendly.
Jonathan Lloyd, community manager at The Junction, said: “We want residents to embrace this unique living experience by showing them that life at The Junction is so much more than 7pm telly and getting an early night!
“We’ve cultivated spaces and experiences that appeal to whichever ‘you’ the day brings, alongside built-in practicalities that offer much-needed peace of mind.
“The apartments are designed with modern and social living in mind. Not just a place to settle, but a unique neighbourhood, offering access to places to eat, drink, shop and explore.
Inside an apartment at The Junction
“The Junction goes beyond just a place to sleep at night with its lush green gardens, co-working spaces, communal lounges and private dining, plus a whole roster of events for making friends within the community – it is more than just a place to live, it’s a lifestyle.
“There will also be exclusive offers and perks available to residents via The Junction Card, which is one the unique benefits of living in the complex.”
The Junction Card, presented to residents as soon as they move in, will give exclusive perks and discounts in a selection of hand-picked local, independent businesses.
Over the next year, The Junction district will introduce its very own highline, offering a unique walk into the city centre dubbed the ‘coolest walk to work’.
Still to come will be canalside dining, pocket parks, a 5-a-side multi use sports pitch, landscaped gardens and a calendar packed full of various events. The first residents are able to move into The Junction now.
Apartment prices start from £1080 and are available fully-furnished or unfurnished.
An enormous fan park is set to open in Leeds this month, ahead of Leeds United's FA Cup semi-final clash against Chelsea.
The Whites will be heading to Wembley on Sunday 26 April, but Leeds fans will be able to cheer them on in our home city too, thanks to this massive event from 4TheFans.
4TheFans will be turning the O2 Academy Leeds into an immersive, dedicated Leeds United fan park experience for this historic day.
Expect to watch all the action on the biggest screen in Leeds, plus there'll be world-class sound, a Sky Sports presenter, a fully-stocked bar, a dedicated 4TheFans presenter, DJs, and a genuine Leeds football legend providing analysis and banter.
And every time the ball hits the back of the net, pyrotechnics and other special effects will only add to the atmosphere.
It's been 39 years since our beloved Leeds reached an FA Cup semi-final, and now Daniel Farke’s side are just 90 minutes away from a place in the FA Cup Final.
Nearly 2000 fellow supporters will be able to come together under one roof in one of the city's most iconic venues, for what's shaping up to be the best atmosphere outside Wembley itself.
This really is the best alternative to being at the actual match, with 4TheFans’ proven track record of creating atmospheric fan parks for major sporting events.

Hundreds of tickets have already been sold from pre-registration.

This family event is for anyone over eight years old (under 14s must be accompanied by an adult on the balcony).
The 4TheFans FA Cup semi-final fan park will be open at O2 Academy Leeds on Sunday 26 April, with doors open at 1pm ahead of a 3pm kick-off.
