South Parade
Jason Stowe, managing director of Leeds-based Wilton Developments, commented: “On behalf of the owners East Parade Ltd, we are pleased to have completed the first
comprehensive update to the building since it won the British Council for Offices Award for best refurbished work place back in 2011.
“The design-led works have refreshed the common areas into a contemporary look, whilst maintaining a sympathetic relationship to the boutique experience of high-quality materials and finish, which were key to the original award-winning refit 10 years ago.
“The design looks stylish and fresh and has already successfully encouraged a new tenant to move into the building. Now we hope to build on that success by letting the impressive 9,300 sq ft first floor with the help of Leeds property consultancies Knight Frank and WSB”.
Elizabeth Ridler, partner with Knight Frank, explained: “This is a fabulous space, delivering exactly what the Leeds office market now wants..”
Duncan Senior, Partner at WSB commented “10 South Parade has been fully let for the past 10 years which is testament to the quality of the original scheme. The new refurbishment further enhances the quality of accommodation being offered.
Developer Secures £17m Investment to Improve Transport Infrastructure in South Leeds
Leeds property investment and development company, Munroe K, is delighted to be the first external organisation to present to the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s Investment Committee, after it was revealed this week that £17m would be contributed to the development of the new White Rose Railway Station.
The White Rose Railway Station development will be a pivotal part of promoting sustainability both within the White Rose Park and the wider South Leeds region, as well as supporting the West Yorkshire Transport Strategy 2040, which outlines the ambition to achieve a 3.5% reduction in car journeys by 2027.
With Leeds City Council declaring a climate emergency in 2019, the need for schemes to reduce car usage and increase uptake of more sustainable methods of travel has become ever more important, and the White Rose Railway Station is a key part of this aspiration.
As part of the shared goal for Leeds to become a net-zero carbon city by 2030, specific measures outlined include:
Doubling bus patronage 75% increase in rail 10% increase in walking 300% increase in cycling 15% decrease in car usage.
In light of this, the opening of the station will assist the regeneration of surrounding communities, reduce congestion on the highway network and highlight significant improvements to the surrounding walking and cycle network.
