We’re excited to share that The Junction has been shortlisted for the Best Regeneration Project (100+ Homes) in the Inside Housing Development Awards 2024!
The 665-home development has completely transformed the Grade II listed Monk Bridge viaduct into Yorkshire’s first high-line landscape forming the centrepiece of a new urban quarter: the vast structure had previously sat disused and increasingly decrepit since 1967, but now features a fully accessible landscape which forms the heart of the neighbourhood.
In the early stages of the development, CJCT recognised that the viaduct not only provided a reminder of the rich industrial history of the city, but offered a nationally significant urban regeneration opportunity with the listed structure at its heart. The Junction provides a blueprint for the creative re-use of our region’s abundance of post-industrial structures and the regeneration benefits they can offer.
It has already made an enormous impact on both Leeds and the wider county, and CJCT are grateful to have this achievement recognised on a national scale.
Well done to all those involved!
