ARTHUR’S FOLD 3 ARTHUR’S FOLD 4 Welcome to Arthur’s Fold

ARTHUR’S FOLD 5 ARTHUR’S FOLD 6 Bold Unique Inclusive

Regeneration of a city relies upon two things; passion and vision. A passion for what’s been before and a vision of what’s to come. Arthur’s Fold was born from these two ideas, a building that can reflect the beauty of a city’s industrial past to create a piece of modern, sustainable and unique architecture that will redefine the landscape whilst offering a comfortable, contemporary space people will be proud to call home.

ARTHUR’S FOLD 9 ARTHUR’S FOLD 10 Folding Creating Reflecting

Inspiration can come from the most unlikely of places. Arthur’s Fold takes its inspiration from the site’s original inhabitants, a highly specialised steel fabrication company. In a nod to this unique process, folded metal in light-reflecting copper adorns the building’s exterior, creating a striking design that not only provides a stark contrast to the surrounding urban landscape but makes its mark on the city’s skyline.

ARTHUR’S FOLD 11 ARTHUR’S FOLD 12 The finest finish

They say quality speaks for itself and nowhere is this better exemplified than in the building of Arthur’s Fold. The use of efficient construction provides the opportunity to offer the finest finishes inside. Residents will have the unique opportunity to enjoy city centre living in high quality, well-designed apartments. A modern space that’s thoughtful, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

ARTHUR’S FOLD 13 ARTHUR’S FOLD 14 About CityLife

ARTHUR’S FOLD 15 ARTHUR’S FOLD 16 Reimagined Reinvented Redefined

We love Leeds. It’s the place we grew up in and somewhere we’ve seen evolve into a dynamic, bustling city. And it’s our passion for Leeds that’s created Citylife, a property development company with a vision: to take Leeds into the future with contemporary, efficient, thoughtful, sustainable architecture.

ARTHUR’S FOLD 17 ARTHUR’S FOLD 18 Creation Obsession Legacy

The creation of unique architecture. An obsession with design. A legacy for the future. We are inspired by urban, sustainable living and a desire to bring this to Leeds, the city we call home. We love tradition and that’s why you’ll see so much of it echoed in our designs, but we also have a passion for the future and providing city dwellers with modern, thoughtful spaces they’ll feel proud to live in.

ARTHUR’S FOLD 19 ARTHUR’S FOLD 20 Passion Proficiency Progression

We don’t build developments. We use our passion for design to create thoughtful architecture, comfortable spaces, places that feed the soul. We understand our residents want homes that enhance their way of life, so we build efficient architecture that does so, whilst helping to evolve the urban landscape. We want to recapture the spirit of Leeds by designing dynamic, contemporary spaces, somewhere meaningful inside and out that will encourage a sense of community and inspire a strong sense of place.

Leeds has a large population of affluent young renters, especially in the city centre, but a shortfall in housing development has meant supply cannot keep up with demand. Rental prices have spiked and people are crying out for quality, affordable accommodation. Rental growth is on the increase and over 3,000 new dwellings are required per year until 2033 to meet demand. Now has never been a better time to invest in high quality, city centre accommodation.

ARTHUR’S FOLD 38 ARTHUR’S FOLD 39 It’s not just about location

They say buying the right property is all about the location but that’s not always the case. In fact, the reality can be very different. 1 2 Apartments that offer better design and interiors sell for up to 30% more than others in the same location. What’s more, superior design quality has a larger impact on sales and rental prices than location or floorspace.

These two apartment developments, Watermans (1) and Blue (2) are both in Granary Wharf in Leeds city centre. Each have a similar floor space within their apartments.

However, Watermans has a higher value design both in its exterior and interior than the Blue development and therefore commands a higher price.

ARTHUR’S FOLD 40 Despite its larger floorspace, the interiors of Blue offer a lower quality of design, including cheaper fixtures 1 and fittings.

Watermans has a much higher level of interior design, including superior quality fixtures and fittings.

As you can see by the figures, the value of each apartment is not affected by the location or floorspace but by the quality of the exterior and interior designs.
