Brotherton House PBSA completes
The trend towards grade A student living shows no signs of slowing down, as owner-operator Study Inn finishes its 385-bedroom facility in Leeds.
The project has broadly been in two parts, with the first phase being the renovation of the original Brotherton House.
This created 163 rooms in the property that was originally built to house Lord Brotherton’s Chemical Co in 1956.
The building was purchased by Leeds-based property company J Pullans & Sons in 2012 and a joint venture was formed with Study Inn to renovate the art deco building into PBSA in 2022.
Cunniff was the architect and Cerda the planner.
The second phase consisted of a 15-storey new-build alongside it, adding 222 rooms as well as a wellness spa, gym, yoga studio, bowling lanes, cinema, and study areas.
Solar panels and air source heat pumps were used throughout the property, which topped out last September.
The building is located in Leeds city centre, a short walk from the town hall.
Jack Jefferson, acquisitions director at Study Inn, commented: “The demand for high-quality student accommodation is stronger than ever, and our in-house expertise enables us to deliver state-of-the-art developments that enhance the student experience.
“We are keen to identify new sites and are offering up to 2.5% as an introduction fee for suitable opportunities.”
