Catella APAM Launches Sale of Prime Leeds Build-to-Rent Opportunity

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.
