Hall is close to the major cities of Leeds and Bradford and within easy reach of
Manchester. The development is conveniently located within a short walk of the Huddersfield’s
thriving town centre and well connected with excellent public transport links and
good access to the national motorway network.
Huddersfield has a proud history and it has played an important role in the nation’s industrial heritage. Today it is a thriving town with
a population of circa 155,000 and its industrial business profile is matched by a rapidly expanding service sector. A recent assessment carried out by the local authority forecasts that the economic growth in the Huddersfield area will rise annually by up to 2.5% over the next 10 years.
The flagship Waterfront Quarter is set to change the face of Huddersfield and will radically transform a prime 12-acre site located immediately adjacent to the town centre. The scheme is expected to create up to 2,000 new jobs and will provide a mix of residential accommodation, office and retail space, which is expected to attract
a wide range of businesses.
A major expansion of The University of Huddersfield has resulted in
a new £14 million creative arts centre directly adjacent to the Waterfront Quarter. The town is also home to the architecturally acclaimed Galpharm sports stadium and the recent opening of the Kingsgate shopping centre has attracted many big name retailers to the area.
Huddersfield has a tremendously attractive hinterland, with the idyllic Last of the Summer Wine countryside on its doorstep. The village of Lindley, on the outskirts of Huddersfield was recently voted one of the UK’s greatest property hotspots, based on its beauty and affordability. Overall Huddersfield’s future has never looked brighter.
