Former office building to be redeveloped into new apartment scheme

A former office building in central Harrogate is set to be redeveloped into 20 apartments.

North Yorkshire property developer, Quattro Property Group, has unveiled the plans to transform the former Southfield site on Station Parade.

Work is now underway at Southfield House to redevelop the office block into nine apartments whilst also creating an additional new apartment building, Ellis House, within the site’s existing boundaries to accommodate a further 11 apartments.

Revised planning permission for the development was granted in December 2018 and Quattro is expected to finish the build ready for launch in late 2019.

The scheme will predominantly comprise two-bedroom apartments, with the inclusion of a one bedroomed apartment in each building.

Leeds-based Castlehouse Construction is the lead contractor on the development.

Richard Lumley, chairman of Quattro Property Group, said: “We are extremely excited to unveil our vision for what is undoubtedly one of the best development sites in Harrogate Town Centre.

“The Southfield residential scheme has been sensitively designed to breathe new life into this strategically located site whilst also uniting the development with the architecture of surrounding buildings to provide apartments of the highest standard.

“Safeguarding the future of sites such as this is of critical importance to the long-term sustainability of the town and we are looking forward to seeing the work progress on site.”
