SOYO Leeds is much more than the sum of its parts. It is a new mixed use development in the heart of Leeds’ cultural district and aims to join forces with its neighbours to establish one of the very best places to live, work, and visit in Leeds.
Caddick Developments are building spaces that will put SOYO Leeds on the map for good – from quality modern living to new bars and restaurants – as well as some of the biggest public green areas inside the city centre of Leeds.
Once completed, it will offer over 1 million square feet of places to live, work and visit, including some of the largest green spaces in the city.
Sitting proudly on the SOuth of YOrk Road, SOYO Leeds is one of the newest projects by Yorkshire’s own Caddick Developments, who are dedicated to creating the vibrant, authentic and forward thinking neighborhood that SOYO will become.
With phase one of the development now complete, and the launch of Moda, New York Square – phase 2 is now underway, bringing a further 331 rental apartments to the City of Leeds.
Visit our Events section to see what’s going on at SOYO. This summer we are proud to be part of the Leeds Bear Hunt in support of such a brilliant local charity.
Leeds Hospitals Charity presents Leeds Bear Hunt – a large-scale public art trail set to splosh its way across Leeds for 10 weeks from the 1 July 2023.
Decorated by local, national and international artists, designers and illustrators, 35 giant Bear sculptures hide in plain sight on the streets of Leeds.
The Bears have formed a family-friendly trail of discovery, bringing Michael Rosen’s iconic We’re Going on a Bear Hunt story to life, and taking visitors and local people on adventures around the city and surrounding open spaces.
Designed to celebrate the vibrancy, culture and creativity of Leeds, and to raise money for Leeds Children’s Hospital, the trail will be deeply rooted in the local community.
Located at SOYO – you can find both the ‘I Wish I’d been a Rhinos’ bear along with ‘Frankie Bear’ designed by our resident artist EV Hardaker.
Learn more about local artist EV Hardaker and her original artwork applied to hoardings around SOYO which create positive and visually arresting transformations of the public realm.

Did you know... that the hidden gem Leeds Library was founded in 1768. It`s the oldest surviving example of a proprietary subscription library in Britain – a kind of library created, owned and run by its members. It`s our favourite spot for some quiet time in the hustle and bustle of the city centre! ♥️

📺 We can not wait to see the incredible premiere of Mozart`s Requiem, on BBC Four this Sunday at 8pm! This international collab between our friends @phoenixdancetheatre and @operanorth will also be available to stream on @bbciplayer 🎬
Filmed live at @grandtheatrels1 the stage production combines Mozart’s awe-inspiring choral masterpiece with the intensely expressive physicality of two leading contemporary dance ensembles. It is also part of @leeds2023 Year of Culture..... just amazing!

🎩✨Back in 1911, the legendary Harry Houdini, the master of illusions, promised to wow the crowds at @The_Tetley as he hoped to break free from a padlocked cask of ale! 🧐 But, alas, the escape artist met his match as he struggled to conquer the icy clutches of the ale-filled trap! A heroic assistant swooped in just in the nick of time! 💫
