Savills Appointed On Huddersfield's Waterfront Quarter

Savills has recently been appointed by Strategic Sites to let the office element at its Waterfront Quarter scheme in Huddersfield.

The £175 million mixed-use regeneration project will be built on a six acre site near the town centre, which is bounded by Chapel Hill, Manchester Road and the River Colne.

Waterfront Quarter has already received planning consent for the 750,000 sq ft scheme, which will comprise up to 180,000 sq ft of modern, BREEAM 'excellent' rated office space, a new further education college, 300 apartments and waterfront cafes, bars and restaurants.


The project will also include a riverside walk and the recently renovated Huddersfield Narrow Canal.

Paul Fairhurst, Director at Savills, said: "This scheme is set to transform the waterfront in Huddersfield with its sensitive design and green open space. The project is highly feasible, despite the difficult market, due to its planning consents, realistic timeframe and the availability of funding.

"We are looking forward to working closely with Strategic Sites and our joint agents Dove Haigh Phillips to achieve the objectives it has set for office lettings at this remarkable mixed-use scheme."
