A unique luxury development of 142 apartments in a famous former bank’s landmark headquarters in Yorkshire is to be looked after by Principle Estate Management.
Principle has won the contract for what will be known as The Halcyon from property investment company Joseph Mews, partners on the project with developers Sekhon Group.
The Halcyon is on Croft Road in Bingley in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, once the base of the former Bradford and Bingley banking group.
This will be transformed into a mix of one, two and three-bedroomed apartments with the first block, Bingley House, featuring 34 homes and expected to complete by the third quarter of next year.
The whole scheme will be ready by the end of 2026 and will include business suites and meeting rooms, a cinema room, private dining spaces, residents’ lounge and café bar, gym and peloton room.
There will also be a yoga and wellbeing studio, golf simulator suite, private event space and games lounge.
Joe Jobson, joint managing director at Principle, said: “We are thrilled to have been appointed to manage The Halcyon, a unique and luxury development.
“There will be 142 beautiful apartments launched over three stages that will introduce a new and exciting standard of modern living, but without compromising the distinctive character of the existing building.
“The developers are creating new benchmarks for quality apartment living with an impressive reception area, sweeping staircases and a skybridge.
“Each apartment will be significantly larger than the market average, utilising open-plan layouts, sumptuous interior design and fantastic views of the surrounding area.
“Once again, we won this major contract by showing the developers our proven success as managing large schemes across the country.
“We were able to demonstrate how our experienced managers will use the MRI Qube-powered IT systems to operate an impressive package of finance, maintenance, asset management, compliance and resident engagement.
“We will support Joseph Mews and Sekhon Group throughout the build process to help them carefully plan the high quality levels of professional service that will make a difference every day for new residents.
“This close liaison will continue as the development emerges, including putting together budgets, reviewing operating and maintenance manuals, issuing service contracts and carrying out a full onsite inspection.
“This will mean that everything will be in place and ready to work smoothly when The Halcyon reaches its management stage.”
