Farewell to Red Hall

[Whippet13]

Didn't realise yesterday was the RFLs last day at Red Hall:

Super League already in Manchester I think although at a separate location, so it will be interesting to see if they end up co-locating as the two bodies start to partially merge again.

If they own the land there it must be worth a few quid.

They don't, they rented it as far as I know.

According to this it is owned by the RFL -

https://www.leeds.gov.uk/residents/east-leeds-extension/red-hall

It's edging towards some of the wealthiest parts of the north of England so, unless there are covenants about what it can be used for, they should make a nice amount from selling up.

The surroundings (owned by LCC) have already been sold, about to be sold to a developer. The RFL building itself will likely be listed so not worth much to said developer if it came to market.

Positive move, I think. I'd forgotten it was in the offing.

It was put on the market by Knight Frank in 2019.

Can't see if it sold.

Visited it once , I went with Richard Moore for a disciplinary hearing

It didn't end well

Trust me it has.

Gwan then ... how much?

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Don't know the agreed sale price, but it will certainly be a boost to the council's (not the RFL's) coffers. 

[bamfordsbeans]

The RFL will benefit from the sale by a hair raising amount.

So Leeds CC have even more money to build student accommodation in the city centre?

chuckle... although Unite union seem to invest a lot in this type of property too

[Leeds Wire]

This is a big factor:

Everything you need to know about the £116m East Leeds Orbital Road - Leeds Live (leeds-live.co.uk)

I live about 2 miles from Red Hall and this new road is a huge project. Its construction is well underway.

Here's a few of the details as what it will be:

Yup.

Not a game changer but should keep the wolf from the door.

Wait, the council builds private student accomodation now?
