Refurbishment completed at ‘historic’ Copperworks site in Leeds

Towngate PLC, the commercial lettings specialist and landlord, has completed the refurbishment and rebranding of a historical property in Stourton, Leeds.

Previously occupied by the metal manufacturer Yorkshire Copper Works until 1980, the site was acquired by Towngate in 2003.

The firm has now concluded renovation and rebranding works, preparing the 300,000 sq ft space and development land for a new tenant.

All buildings have been reroofed and the external elevations have had cladding replaced.

The demolition of an entire bay has allowed for increased loading capacity, while the installation of ground-level loading doors at the rear will further boost circulation efficiency.

The internal space features an open-plan working environment with a functional height of over nine metres.

Tom Lamb, Towngate’s property manager, said: “We’re delighted with the overhaul of this historic property, and are excited to bring it back to the market.

“Whilst we have taken care of the key structural refurbishment, we have intentionally left the warehouse as a blank canvas, enabling modifications to suit a new tenant’s requirements.

“This site presents a truly unique industrial letting opportunity, and all interested parties now have the opportunity to visit the building for a tour.”

The Bigger Boat, the Mirfield-based digital marketing agency, rebranded the property, which has included the production of illuminated signage, a lettings brochure and a new website.

The site is available to let in its entirety to a single occupier, and includes industrial warehouse accommodation, two-storey ancillary office buildings and a 287-space car park, along with 11 acres of expansion land.
