The transformation of a former bank in Bradford into apartments and a commercial space has been completed with a final contract value of £620,000.
Priestley Construction, the Leeds-based contractor which specialises in the refurbishment of historic buildings, has delivered the project with the developer IP Properties. The 6,322 square foot building was acquired in March 2017 and has now been fully completed.
12 Piccadilly is now comprised of 14 apartments which occupy the second and third floors of the three-story former bank. The ground floor will offer self-contained commercial space for businesses to rent.
Although the building has been modernised inside, as this site was a Grade-II listed building, Priestley Construction combined original features with new, high specification details.
Bob Priestley, head of construction, said: “It was great to work on another project in Bradford. Although we had some access and parking restrictions initially, we overcame these by having a strong team with excellent logistical and planning skills.
“We have created further apartments in the city and although this contract is not as large as Conditioning House, it brings another historic building of value to life and creates more city living in Bradford.”
Located in Bradford city centre, the apartments are being retained by the developer for the rental market, aimed at young professionals in particular.
