A £6.6 million sheltered housing project has been described as “the closest thing to a commune in north Leeds”.
The comment was made by Leeds Jewish Housing Association chair Stephen Lewis at the naming ceremony for Stonegate Way, a 60-apartment complex whose features include a hydrotherapy spa and a kosher shop.
“We have taken the best of Jewish ethos, of community and care, social responsibility and respect for the elderly, and have created an environment where people can be with friends and family,” Mr Lewis said.
In addition to the communal facilities, residents could join activities at the nearby Maz community centre.
