Code, Western Road - Phase 3

Project Overview

The project has acted as a catalyst for regeneration of the wider area in a number of ways. It replaced previously redundant factory and commercial buildings with a high quality development that has helped to free up existing housing stock in the Westcotes area.

CODE has already started to create the impetus for local families to move back into the area where previously the very high level of student occupation, which had become the norm, had made this difficult.

This brings greater diversity and balance to this area of Leicester and 600 additional residents are a positive influence on the local economy. They include rising values and increased opportunities for commercial enterprise.

The project can also be a catalyst for further development of Leicester’s waterside.
