Study Inn has announced the completion of its Brotherton House purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development in Leeds. The second phase of the project, opened and occupied in September 2024, brings the total to 385 high-quality rooms complemented by state-of-the-art amenities.
Brotherton House was originally built for Lord Brotherton’s Chemical company in 1956. The historic building was purchased by J Pullans & Sons and a joint venture partnership was formed with Study Inn to transform this iconic building into modern PBSA in 2022.
The first phase delivered 163 rooms whilst preserving the site’s historic character and introduced cutting-edge facilities, designed to provide an unparalleled student living experience.
The second phase, comprising a 15-storey new build alongside Brotherton House, added 222 additional rooms. The scheme offers a choice between en-suite serviced apartments and serviced studios.
“We design, develop, and operate our schemes with our in-house, integrated team. ESG is a top priority for us, and we take it seriously in everything we do.
“This development highlights our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint while delivering exceptional accommodation that prioritises both sustainability and an outstanding resident experience. This award-winning project reflects the dedication and hard work of our team.”
Simon Liversage, Managing Director of Developments, Study Inn Group
Sustainability was a key focus throughout the project, with the development incorporating innovative features such as photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps to minimise its environmental impact. Study Inn also carried out off-site highway improvements, enhancing the surrounding area for the wider community’s benefit.
“We’re proud to have helped bring new life to Brotherton House, ensuring this landmark building continues to serve future generations.
“Working with Study Inn Group on this redevelopment aligns with our focus on sustainable, long-term projects that benefit both the building and the wider community.”
Mark Pullan, Managing Director, J Pullans & Sons
Amenities at Brotherton House include a wellness spa, gym, yoga studio, bowling lanes, cinema lounge and dedicated study areas, all designed to foster a sense of community and enhance student wellbeing.
The PBSA scheme provides residents with an all-inclusive, premium living experience just minutes from the University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett University, and the city centre.
“The demand for high-quality student accommodation is stronger than ever, and our in-house expertise enables us to deliver state-of-the-art developments that enhance the student experience.
“We are keen to identify new sites and are offering up to 2.5% as an introduction fee for suitable opportunities.”
Jack Jefferson, Acquisitions Director, Study Inn
Study Inn also one two awards last year including being voted Best Student Accommodation in Leeds at the 2024 Student Crowd Voice Awards.
