Leeds’ Zurich House hits the market
Following Bankfoot’s approval for the conversion of the South Bank office building into a 170-home BTR, Catella has put the property up for sale on behalf of owner NPV International.
JLL will market the property, which sits within one of the city’s key regeneration areas.
The plans for Zurich House consist of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, with a rooftop terrace, a cinema room, a gym, and co-working spaces.
The project team included planning consultant Ashton Hale, WSP, Core 5 quantity surveyors, Crookes Walker Consulting, and urban landscape designers Planit.
Plans for the scheme were lodged last July, when Bankfoot agreed a 5% affordable housing allocation with Leeds City Council.
Rhys Williams, associate director at Catella APAM, said: “Zurich House represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a planning-approved, design-led BTR scheme in one of the UK’s strongest regional rental markets.
“With its strategic location, ESG-focused design, and short walk to key transport and employment hubs, this asset is ideally positioned for forward funders, investors, or developers seeking scalable urban rental stock.”
You forgot the architect… Russ Drage associates. Thanks
