Prestigious Park Square apartments all let by Zenko Properties
A brand-new apartment development in Leeds city centre, consisting of nine, one and two bedroom rental homes, has been let within just two weeks of being brought to the market by Zenko Properties. The city living agency fought off stiff competition to win the contract.
The former office building has been redeveloped by Yorkshire property specialists, Blackshaw Holdings, with a new build zinc clad extension added to Somers Street and the conversion of an original townhouse on Park Square West.
The development now offers a selection of individual apartments with high quality kitchens and bathrooms. All the homes are unique and finished to an exceptional standard with furniture, appliances and interior design services all supplied by Leeds based firm, Kit It Out.
Tobias Duczenko, managing director at Zenko Properties, said: “We competed against several other Leeds lettings agents to win this instruction, but we knew it would be a great fit for our portfolio, which already includes a good selection of small-scale but very high-quality schemes in sought after parts of the city.
“This development definitely fits into this mould. It’s very close to Leeds Town Hall and The Headrow, but still enjoys a quiet location overlooking the green and tranquil surroundings of Park Square, with some of the city’s best independent cafes and eateries on the doorstep.
“As a result, we were able to quickly generate interest in the development and let all of the apartments. The city centre rental market continues to go from strength to strength and it is unusual to be able to offer a small, purpose-built scheme of this quality in such a great location.”
Sam Taylor, from Blackshaw Holdings, said: “We invested significant sums in transforming this period property on Park Square from offices into homes, and we are very pleased to have worked with Zenko Properties and appreciate their proactive approach to marketing our development.”
Earlier this summer, Zenko Properties completed a move into a prominent position on the ground floor of Graphical House on Wharf Street in Leeds city centre as it gears up for growth. Zenko Properties has leased 1,200 sq ft of space in the recently refurbished building, which is three times the size of its previous office.
Zenko Properties currently manages more than 500 properties across Leeds city centre including numerous well-known developments such as Lamberts Yard, Spencer House and Devonshire House.
