Another Bruntwood Refurbishment

The call for refurbishment will be magic to the ears of Bruntwood, who have built a substantial portfolio on the basis of improving tired office buildings. Its latest purchase in Leeds is the 12 storey 11,148 sq.metres (120,000 sq.ft.) City House, which is above Leeds central railway station and is now
in shell condition after being stripped out by the previous owners. In other words this is a classic Bruntwood situation which it will restore in consultation with Network Rail and Leeds City Council. It already owns over 20% of the office stock in Manchester city centre and now as 35,302 sq.metres (380,000 sq.ft.) in Leeds. Illustrating its skills, the portfolio is 95% let in Leeds. Bruntwood’s Chris Burrow commented: “With extensive experience in Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham we’re confident that we can revitalise the building, enhancing the building’s infrastructure and, without doubt, a fantastic location in Leeds city centre.” He added that the company was still buying properties in Leeds and that it “believes in the fabric of the cities we operate in and wherever possible, we recycle
buildings instead of knocking them down and starting again. This is part of the company ethos to avoid waste and help create sustainable cities.”
