Apartments at The Opal at Dyecoats, a residential tower in Leeds, UK, are being launched for sale to Singapore buyers, with Savills Singapore as the appointed marketing agent.

The 16-storey tower offers 196 units, comprising one- to three-bedroom apartments of 542 to 950 sq ft. According to Savills, the units have a starting price of GBP229,500 for a one-bedroom unit, GBP294,600 for a two-bedder and GBP418,000 for a three-bedroom apartment.

Slated for completion in 4Q2027, the apartments have a 999-year leasehold tenure and come with a 10-year National House Building Council warranty. Residents will benefit from on-site amenities such as concierge services, co-working facilities and residents’ lounges.

The Opal is situated within Dyecoats, a mixed-use redevelopment scheme helmed by Latimer Homes, the development arm of Clarion Housing Group — one of the UK's largest housing organisations.

Occupying a 13-acre (5.26ha) brownfield site fronting the River Aire along Kirkstall Road, the scheme aims to deliver 1,860 new houses spanning private sale, affordable housing and Build-to-Rent apartments.

Other amenities to be developed include green spaces such as a public square and a new riverside park, alongside a food hall and retail outlets. Phase One of Dyecoats, which includes The Opal, will offer roughly 800 new homes.

According to Savills, Leeds has emerged as one of the UK’s most dynamic regional economies, supported by its position as a financial and professional services hub outside London. It is also home to educational institutions such as the University of Leeds and Leeds Arts University.

Adrian Lim, senior director and head of international residential sales at Savills Singapore, observes that Singapore buyers continue to be drawn to well-located developments in established regional cities in the UK, including Leeds. “For many Singapore buyers today, the focus is less on short-term gains and more on building a diversified property portfolio anchored by cities with resilient fundamentals and relatively accessible entry prices compared with London,” he adds.

Savills Singapore will be hosting a launch event for The Opal and the wider Dyecoats development over the weekend of April 18 and 19, at Voco Orchard Hotel.
