Leeds' Latest Build To Rent Scheme Nears Completion

BUILDING WORK is soon to complete on Leeds city centre’s latest ‘build to rent’ apartment scheme, which is in a prime location on New Briggate

The development consists of 13 one and two bedroom fully furnished apartments and is being marketed by city living specialist Morgans. The apartments, which will be ready to move into during the summer, are spread across five floors in a central location above the city’s highly-acclaimed North Bar, next to the famous Leeds Grand Theatre and less than two minutes’ walk from the flagship John Lewis store which is due to open in late October.

Jonathan Morgan, managing director of Morgans, says: “The location of this development alone, is almost enough to ensure its popularity. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to be right in the heart of Leeds, surrounded by great shops, bars and restaurants. There are very few rental properties available that are so close to the city’s main retail offering-Trinity Leeds, Harvey Nichols and the new Victoria Gate development with its John Lewis, are all just minutes away and the immediate area is bursting with bars and restaurants including Manahatta, The Brotherhood, Belgrave, Brewdog, and the original Leeds indie bar, Mojo.

“The quality of the interior specification is very high and includes air-conditioning to each apartment which is a first for Leeds city centre. Kitchens and bathroom fittings have been carefully selected and the furnishings will be of similarly high quality.”

Jonathan adds: “We’re experiencing unprecedented demand for quality rental property in Leeds city centre and have seen a number of much needed ‘build to rent’ schemes developed in recent years which demonstrates the confidence that developers have in the city’s residential market. Growing numbers of people are renting rather than buying and tenants often want to rent for years rather than months, so there’s definitely room in the market for more of this type of development.”

Prices will start at £650pcm for a one-bedroom apartment. To register your interest, or for further information, call 0113 398 0099.
