Study Inn has completed its Brotherton House development in Leeds. The second phase of the project, opened and occupied in September 2024, brings the total to 385 rooms complemented by state-of-the-art amenities.
Brotherton House was originally built for Lord Brotherton’s Chemical company in 1956. The historic building was purchased by J Pullans & Sons, the Leeds-based property management, investment and development business in 2012 and a Joint Venture partnership was formed with Study Inn to transform this iconic building into modern, purpose-built student accommodation in 2022.
This first phase created 163 rooms whilst preserving the site’s historic character and introduced cutting-edge facilities.
The second phase, comprising a 15-storey new build alongside Brotherton House, has added 222 additional rooms. The scheme offers a choice between en-suite serviced apartments and serviced studios. Residents benefit from amenities such as a wellness spa, gym, yoga studio, bowling lanes, cinema lounge, and dedicated study areas, all designed to foster a sense of community and enhance student well-being.
Sustainability was a key focus throughout the project, with the development incorporating features such as photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps to minimise its environmental impact.
Simon Liversage, Managing Director of Developments at Study Inn Group, said: “We design, develop, and operate our schemes with our in-house, integrated team. ESG is a top priority for us, and we take it seriously in everything we do.
“This development highlights our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint while delivering exceptional accommodation that prioritises both sustainability and an outstanding resident experience. This award-winning project reflects the dedication and hard work of our team.”
Mark Pullan, Managing Director of J Pullans & Sons, said: “We’re proud to have helped bring new life to Brotherton House, ensuring this landmark building continues to serve future generations. Working with Study Inn Group on this redevelopment aligns with our focus on sustainable, long-term projects that benefit both the building and the wider community.”
