Addington, the property investment, and asset management specialist has heeded the request of its residents and has refurbished the residents’ lounge at its PRS scheme at Headingley Park, Leeds to create a fully-fledged co-working space. This is fully operational for when the government lifts restrictions and encourages “back to work” in the office.
The new space has been totally redecorated and now has 12 workstations, increased power supply and superfast broadband to cater for every eventuality in the new “world of work”.
As David Dalrymple, Partner at Addington comments, “ Residents who don’t want or need to return to an external office will now be able to work either from their individual homes or from this redesigned work space, if they prefer the buzz of being around other workers.”
Addington has also upgraded the ‘lounge area’ with new furniture, lighting and a brand new coffee machine for those residents who just want to chill. The scheme’s motto is “Live, Work, Relax.”
Occupancy at Headingley Park has recently been boosted. The scheme is most attractive to young professionals in the 25- 35 age bracket with numbers now up to 250 residents in 150 apartments and occupancy rates high at 97.5%.
“A great testament to our efforts to listen to what our residents actually want and then successfully deliver it onsite,” says Erdal Kacar Head of Operations at AddLiving, the scheme’s property manager.
AddLiving is soon to add an automated parcel delivery service at Headingley Park and provides on-site management and leasing expertise at the scheme.
In other good news from AddLiving’s other PRS properties, occupancy levels at Velocity Village in Sheffield are also high – at 98.5%. Velocity Village is attractive to both young professionals and students- the latter preferring the high quality and self-contained nature of the apartments, which make them Covid secure.
