£800,000 renovation project nears completion on city centre residential scheme

Work is nearing completion on an £800,000 renovation programme at a residential development in the Northern Quarter area of Leeds city centre.

In addition, a range of newly-refurbished apartments within the development are now available to buy.

The Concord Street development consists of 171, one-and two-bedroom apartments as well as a selection of studios and penthouses.

Property firm Adair Paxton has been involved the development and management of the scheme for the last four years, advising building and civil engineering company McLaughlin & Harvey on the renovation work.

Adair Paxton’s estate agency division is now selling 120 of the apartments, with prices ranging from £79,950 for a studio apartment to £180,000 for a 2-bedroom penthouse. The company has secured sales worth more than £6.5m in recent months.

The refurbishment work has seen all the development’s communal areas redecorated, with new floor coverings as well as LED lights throughout. In addition, a large number of individual apartments have been refurbished with new kitchens and bathrooms.

Bruce Collinson from Adair Paxton, said: “This development has always been a popular place to live that has stood the test of time and it is now benefitting from the ongoing emergence of Leeds city centre’s Northern Quarter.

“The area has attracted a huge amount of investment in recent years with Leeds First Direct Arena opening and lots of the city’s best bars and restaurants are now also in the vicinity.”

He added: “McLaughlin & Harvey have made a significant investment in the development to give it a brand new feel and it now exceeds what’s on offer at many other new developments in the area.

“The refurbished apartments all meet an exceptional standard, with superb modern kitchens, new appliances and high-quality bathroom suites. As a result, they are currently proving extremely popular with both investors and owner-occupiers alike.”
