Two bedroom homes start at £10,25 per month, while three-bedroom homes start from £1,575 per month.

Pin Yard was built by Grainger plc, who were behind the development of The Headline building on grounds of the former Yorkshire Post building.

That development, which launched in August 2021, was leased up in record time.

The former Yorkshire Post building was designed by architect John Madden and completed in 1970, it was opened by 22-year-old Prince Charles and awarded a bronze medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects.

Its demolition began in 2014 after the building had been sold and the digital age had changed the way newspapers worked.

Grainger Plc asked The Yorkshire Post staff and readers to suggest a name that reflected its newspaper heritage and so the new building is now known as “The Headline” and the walls on the ground floor are decorated with bespoke prints featuring typewriters and cameras.

Rents start from about £900 per month for a one-bedroom flat with superfast broadband included. This compares to £700 for a conventional, private-rented city centre apartment.

The extra is for the amenities, which also give residents a chance to work, relax and play while creating a sense of community.

Headline’s manager George Diamantopulos says tenants are mainly young professionals with a couple of families, a handful of students and a cohort of downsizers, which is exactly what Grainger plc predicted.

Sam Verity, build-to-rent investment specialist at Allsop Leeds, said: “The Yorkshire region is a hotspot for developers as the demographics of the major cities support a strong rental demand, with robust and growing employment.”
