Situated at 4 Canal Wharf, Zurich House occupies a gateway site in the city’s South Bank regeneration area – just a five-minute walk from Leeds Train Station and Granary Wharf. Planning consent has recently been secured for the comprehensive redevelopment of the site into a 170-unit residential scheme, featuring a mix of studios, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

The proposed development includes a high-quality amenity offer with a gym, cinema room, co-working spaces, dining/function room, landscaped ground floor and a generous rooftop terrace with panoramic city views.

“Zurich House represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a planning-approved, design-led BTR scheme in one of the UK’s strongest regional rental markets,” said Rhys Williams, Associate Director at Catella APAM.

“With its strategic location, ESG-focused design, and short walk to key transport and employment hubs, this asset is ideally positioned for forward funders, investors, or developers seeking scalable urban rental stock.”

The scheme has been progressed by Bankfoot APAM, Catella APAM’s specialist development joint venture. Full planning consent was granted in February 2025, with JLL appointed to bring the site to market.

Members of the Catella APAM team will be at UKREiiF in Leeds from 20–22 May. If you’re attending and would like to discuss Zurich House or wider opportunities across our portfolio, we’d be delighted to speak with you.

Located just a three-minute walk from Leeds Train Station, 12 Greek Street is a 23,000 sq ft multi-let office and leisure building in the heart of the city’s prime commercial and leisure district. Since acquiring the building in June 2023, NPV has partnered with Catella APAM to drive value through early tenant engagement, focused leasing activity, and a tailored asset management strategy.

Demonstrating their continued confidence in 12 Greek Street, parkrun – a global charity that organises free, weekly, 5k and 2k community events in parks and outdoor spaces – has signed a new five-year lease for 1,200 sq ft on the 2nd Floor. They are joined by leading engineering consultancy Troup, Bywaters + Anders LLP, which has also reaffirmed its long-term commitment to the building with a renewed five-year lease for its 1,100 sq ft space on the 1st Floor, extending their presence at the address since 2019.

Chalwe Silwizya, Senior Asset Manager at Catella APAM, commented:
“We’re delighted to see both parkrun and Troup, Bywaters + Anders LLP reaffirm their long-term commitment to 12 Greek Street. These renewals are a clear endorsement of the building’s quality, location, and the experience it offers occupiers. Retaining valued tenants is the strongest testament to how well the building continues to perform in a competitive market.”

The renewals underscore Catella APAM’s continued success in managing regional office assets, ensuring resilience through forward-planning, local market knowledge, and active stakeholder engagement.
 

The redevelopment will transform the existing 1990s office building into a contemporary Build-to-Rent residential scheme, comprising 170 apartments – 5% of which will be allocated as affordable housing, offered at discounted market rents for local residents. The scheme also features outstanding communal amenities, including residents’ lounges, workspaces, play areas, and a generous roof terrace offering expansive views across the city.

“This site reflected a clear shift in demand – where office use was no longer viable, the highest and best use became sustainable, high-quality rental homes,” said Andy Day, Senior Director at Bankfoot APAM. “As a multi-sector development manager, our role is to identify and deliver value-added strategies for clients with underperforming assets.”

The Zurich House development underscores Bankfoot APAM’s track record in repositioning stranded assets and aligning real estate strategies with modern urban needs. Sustainability is central to the project, with energy-efficient construction methods and premium materials ensuring long-term environmental and economic value.

“We see a direct correlation between sustainable design and long-term asset performance,” Day added. “Market data supports the view that best-in-class developments lease faster, maintain value, and attract long-term occupiers – underscoring the critical role of ESG in real estate investment.”

With planning approval now in place, Bankfoot APAM and NPV are actively exploring strategic funding options, including forward funding and outright disposal, to maximise stakeholder value. Construction is expected to begin in late 2025 or early 2026, delivering much-needed housing and contributing meaningfully to Leeds’ housing targets and economic growth agenda.
