Work completed on £2m conversion of Grade-II listed former mill
Construction work on the £2m conversion of a Grade-II listed former mill into a new apartment scheme has been concluded.
Completed by Priestley Construction, the project has seen Rivermill Court in Kirkstall, North Leeds transformed into 27 brand new apartments.
Work began in March 2018, including the stripping out of all internal structures, followed by the rebuilding of new floors and walls to create the high-specification apartments.
The development features a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments, alongside self-contained studios and a limited number of deluxe mezzanine studios.
Rivermill Court is being marketed for sale exclusively to buy-to-let investors in the student accommodation sector through the developer, Priestley Homes.
The development is already 85% sold, with only three two-bedroom apartments and one duplex remaining.
Nathan Priestley, chief executive officer of the Priestley Group, said: “With the recent announcement that Channel 4 will be relocating its headquarters to Leeds, the city continues to attract major inward investment resulting in increasing demand for sophisticated, city centre living.
“Complementing our expansive portfolio of developments right across the North, Rivermill Court brings much needed, high quality, contemporary homes to a key suburb in Leeds. Interest to date in these new homes demonstrates how sought-after the city is.
“The highly skilled team at Priestley Construction delivered this scheme within in seven months, a fantastic achievement by everyone involved that enabled us to bring these homes to market as quickly as possible.”
