Huddersfield building set to be transformed into studio apartments under potential plans

A mixed-use commercial scheme in Huddersfield could be set to be transformed into studio apartments.

CBRE has been appointed to sell the freehold Ramsden House building which is situated adjacent to the Town Hall and Queensgate Market.

Comprising around 40,000 sq ft, the eight storey building currently consists of two storeys of retail accommodation at ground and first floor level, with five storeys of office space above.

Planning consent has been obtained to convert the upper floors into 45 high-end studio apartments, with student accommodation an option to investors due to the building’s proximity to the University of Huddersfield campus.

Sam Potrykus, associate director for CBRE’s Operational Real Estate team in Leeds, commented: “We are delighted to bring to market Ramsden House, a prime Freehold asset management and redevelopment opportunity to capitalise from the ongoing regeneration of the New Street, Queensgate and Piazza districts in the town of Huddersfield.

“This Blueprint initiative will support investment and long-term growth, attracting people and businesses to the town centre, which will in turn add value to key strategic sites such as Ramsden House.”
