Why Invest in The Pointe?
Introducing The Pointe, a brand new residential development and the revival of an old dance hall in Wakefield, West Yorkshire dating back to 1896. Comprising 37 plots of one-bedroom apartments and duplexes, this exciting new venture represents not only the third act for an iconic building but another key addition to a rapidly changing city.
What sets this stunning building apart is the architecture. Victorian motifs give way to art nouveau influences – a striking spire, geometric shapes and arches creating an unforgettable first impression.
The Pointe sits at the heart of Wakefield, a city just 13 minutes outside of Leeds that is experiencing incredible growth. A core driver of this growth is the ongoing multi-million pound redevelopment of the city, plus the subsequent demand from an increasingly young population that is seeking quality property in the Yorkshire area.
What makes The Pointe such a promising development is its proximity to both Wakefield and Leeds – both of which represent key markets in an increasingly popular region. As one of the fastest-growing cities in the UK over the last ten years, Leeds is an established property market and a true destination in the North, underpinned by a thriving professional sector, a youthful population and vibrant nightlife – all of which contributes to huge demand for residential property in the surrounding area.
When compared to Leeds, Wakefield is a city that is treading the same path – driving inward investment that is rapidly transforming the fortunes of the city and building the foundations for incredible success.
When you combine the incredible opportunities afforded by Leeds with the exceptional amenities in Wakefield, it’s easy to see why The Pointe is ideally positioned. This is a development leveraging a winning ensemble of contemporary living, local amenities and connectivity, all nestled within the unique beauty of West Yorkshire.
Inside, each apartment and duplex will leverage open-plan layouts, clean interior design, a high specification and existing characteristics unique to the building itself – creating a desirable space that is both larger than the market average and appealing to the modern tenant. Residents will also have access to four exclusive on-site amenities – a gym, co-working space, bookable meeting room and storage lockers.
