Panattoni Europe, the leading warehouse space developer in Poland, received two awards in the prestigious CEE Quality Awards ceremony, which gathers the leading real estate market players in Central & Eastern Europe. The prize was awarded to the company for the Panattoni Park Mysłowice distribution center and a special distinction was granted to Robert Dobrzycki, the Panattoni Partner Managing Partner for Central and Eastern Europe.

Grand Award

The CEE Real Estate Quality Awards ceremony was held on March 3, 2010 in Warsaw. The „Industry Professional of the year” grand prize was awarded to Robert Dobrzycki, nominated in this category together with 9 other representatives from the area of law, real estate agency, construction and RE development industry from across the CEE region, among others Eli Alroy at GTC or Nicklas Lindberg at SKANSKA. The judges assessed the candidates based on last year business achievements, company results, innovation, and impact on the development of the real estate industry. Robert Dobrzycki was also acknowledged for his capability of ensuring the company stable growth despite the climate downturn in the industry.

Panattoni Park Mysłowice –Industrial & Logistics Development of the Year 2009

At the CEE QA ceremony awards were granted in 19 categories tied to the real estate industry. Panattoni Park Mysłowice, acknowledged both by clients and professionals in the real estate industry, received the Industrial & Logistics Development of the Year 2009 award. This is yet another award granted for the park in Mysłowice, deemed the best logistics center in 2009 in Poland by CIJ Journal magazine, at the CIJ Awards ceremony. Apart from the investment in the distribution center, Panattoni also reconstructed the road network, including the development of a communication node on the S1 Express Way, for ca PLN 30m.

CEE Quality Awards

The 7th edition of the contest, which is considered to be the most objective and in-depth overview of the real estate market in the CEE region, has finished. Projects were submitted from 10 CEE countries: Czech, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine. This year’s ceremony was exceptional in the sense that there were more award categories (e.g. a new award for the Company of the Year in the area of construction services), higher number of judges (increase from 16 to 24 members) and a new gala location – the Royal Castle in Warsaw.

The CEEQA awards are another distinction granted from the real estate industry experts to Panattoni Europe and its president. In 2008 and 2009 r. Robert Dobrzycki received the Personality of the Year Award in another industry contest – CIJ Awards Poland. This time the recognition given by experts to the Managing Director of Panattoni Europe has a regional dimension.

Consequently, this looks like it is going to be more limited than the last major one in the 1990s. However countries with vulnerable economies will continue to experience depressed markets and falling prices.

Some countries have experienced sharp price increases. In 2009, prices in Norway rose by 12%, in Finland by 8% and in Sweden by 7%. In the UK, prices rose by 1% in 2009 overall, but by 10% since their lowest point in April. In Germany, Italy, Netherlands and France, last year’s falls were relatively moderate (between -4% to -6%) and though today markets are still fragile, they are starting to stabilise and to see some price growth.

The worst performing markets of 2009 were Ireland, Spain, Greece, most central and eastern European countries, and especially the Baltic States where prices declined between -27% to -53% in 2009. Geographically, together they form an unlucky horseshoe around the edges of Europe.

The economies of Europe are only showing weak signs of growth and this will hold back housing markets, especially if unemployment continues to rise. Most European house building industries, with the exception of Germany and Switzerland, are also still suffering the impact of the global financial backlash and housing supply will need some time to recover.

The report's author, Professor Michael Ball, said: "The shallowness of the downturn in core European housing markets has surprised many commentators. But Europe is not the USA, and the problems and policy responses have been different. Mortgage defaults have only risen modestly. Low interest rates and central bank support for mortgage markets have played key roles in bringing recovery.

Huge problems remain unfortunately. Housing markets around the fringe of Europe are still dragging down economies in a vicious circle and all European housing markets continue to face credit constraints and great uncertainty. ”

Simon Rubinsohn, Chief Economist of RICS, commented: “A combination of extraordinarily low interest rates and a raft of government measures have helped to put a floor under residential property markets in most European countries.

A firmer tone to the macro news flow is also providing a layer of support with clear evidence that an economic recovery is now under way. Indeed, in a number of cases the boost to liquidity has pushed prices back in the direction of previous highs. However, other housing markets are continuing to labour. In particular, the overhang of supply remains a drag in Spain and Ireland.“

When completed in January 2012, the 2.4 million ft² (222,000 m²) development will be the fourth largest warehouse in Hong Kong. Designed to high technical and environmental specifications, it will also be among Hong Kong’s most modern and efficient warehousing and distribution centers.

Over 1.2 million ft², approximately half of Interlink’s total gross lettable area (GLA) has been preleased and optioned to two leading global logistics operators - DHL Supply Chain (Hong Kong) Limited and Yusen Air & Sea Services (Hong Kong) Limited. In addition, Goodman is also in negotiations with other international logistics players, equivalent to 77% of Interlink’s GLA.

The groundbreaking and signing event was attended by approximately 150 people, including senior representatives from DHL Supply Chain and Yusen Air and Sea Services. Speaking at the event, Mr Paul Graham, CEO DHL Supply Chain Asia Pacific said, “the Goodman Group is one of the major real estate partners for DHL Supply Chain and our total warehouse footprint with Goodman in the Greater China and Oceania regions spans over 248,000 m².”

Greg Goodman, Group Chief Executive Officer of Goodman said, “There is significant pent-up demand in Hong Kong for efficient and modern warehousing facilities. The signing of two such prominent and well respected companies in the logistics industry is testament to this and also the development’s scale, excellent location and its innovative and high specification of design. As our biggest development project to date, Interlink marks a new milestone in the Group’s commitment to Asia, and our strategic expansion in Hong Kong and China."

Supply of efficient warehousing space in Hong Kong is increasingly constrained as demand grows and existing buildings are converted to residential and commercial use. Being strategically located for Hong Kong’s container ports, the International Airport and major highways to mainland China, Interlink will introduce approximately 5% of prime new space to the local market.

Mr Philip Pearce, Goodman’s Managing Director, Greater China said, “Located at the heart of Tsing Yi container port and built to Goodman’s environmental and construction standards, Interlink is designed to meet all the needs of modern logistics operators. We are delighted that both customers are consolidating their local high value-added logistics operations at Interlink.”

“Today’s announcement marks a new milestone in our strong partnership with the Goodman Group,” said Paul Graham, Chief Executive Officer, Asia Pacific, DHL Supply Chain. “Hong Kong is one of our key markets in Asia Pacific and we remain confident in our growth potential here. As a high quality facility, Interlink will enhance our operational efficiency and capabilities in offering best-in-class supply chain solutions for our customers. This will also ensure that DHL Supply Chain is well-equipped to respond to our future business growth and customers’ needs in this dynamic region.”

"As a company, we have 36 years of history and experience here in Hong Kong, and we believe that Hong Kong's role will continue to grow in importance in South China going forward. We are looking forward to seeing the completion of Interlink, and to utilize the modern Interlink facility as the base for our logistics service. The facility will serve as a means by which we are able to satisfy our customers’ needs, with our newly-renovated, high-quality and reliable service." Mr Yasuhiko Nojima, Managing Director of Yusen remarked.

Interlink will be built in compliance with both the HKBEAM (Hong Kong Building Environments Assessment Method) and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) environmental assessment methods, with the aim to be the first of its type to obtain such accreditations and awards in Hong Kong. “Besides business efficiency, this new facility is strategically aligned with our GoGreen strategy. As the world’s leading logistics company, we have taken on a leadership role in mitigating the effects of our industry on the environment and making a positive contribution to climate protection”, added Mr Graham.

DIC Asset AG (German Securities ID 509840 / ISIN DE0005098404) presented its financial statements for the 2009 financial year. The Company performed successfully, in a market environment that continues to be challenging.

FFO (funds from operations, comprising earnings before interest and taxes, plus profits from disposals and development projects) was up by 11 per cent year-on-year, to EUR 47.6 million - in fact exceeding both the original full-year target and the revised forecast of EUR 45-46 million. FFO per share of EUR 1.54 also showed a year-on-year increase (2008: EUR 1.37).

Consolidated net income of EUR 16.1 million reflects DIC Asset AG's sound profitability in the face of prevailing market difficulties. The shortfall compared to the very high figure of EUR 25.2 million for 2008 was due predominantly to lower disposals, reflecting the sluggishness in market transactions. The result is equivalent to earnings per share of EUR 0.52 (2008: EUR 0.80). Shareholders of DIC Asset AG will participate in this successful performance thanks to an unchanged dividend of EUR 0.30 per share - this reflects the stability in operating results.

Detailed review of results for 2009:

DIC Asset AG's total revenues for the 2009 financial year amounted to EUR 171.3 million (2008: EUR 207.1 million). The decline was largely attributable to the lower volume of sales: at EUR 15.2 million, this fell short of the previous year's figure by approx. EUR 34.7 million. Stable rental income of EUR 133.6 million (2008: EUR 134.5 million) provided the cornerstone of revenues: contrary to the market trend, the Company rented out 245,500 square metres during 2009, up 25 per cent year-on-year. New rentals in 2009 were equivalent to annualised rental income of EUR 24.8 million (2008: EUR 19.5 million).

DIC Asset AG's real estate portfolio remained stable, at around 1.3 million sqm of floor space with a market value of EUR 2.2 million market values. The market values, which are reviewed by independent experts each year, declined by 1.6% on a like-for-like basis. At EUR 15.86, NAV per share was slightly lower than the year before (2008: EUR 16.23). Following the marked year-on-year decline seen in 2008 compared to 2007, the trend in 2009 indicates a bottoming-out of the market at large.

DIC Asset's budgeted expansion of asset and property management activities also led to a budgeted increase in operating costs: administrative expenses for the period rose to EUR 9.0 million (up EUR 1.4 million), whilst staff expenses increased by EUR 2.4 million, to EUR 9.2 million.

DIC Asset AG's total assets amounted to EUR 2.2 billion as at 31 December 2009. Long-term assets remained stable, at EUR 2.1 billion. Long-term fixed interest rate agreements or hedges are in place for 85 per cent of financial debt of EUR 1.6 billion (unchanged year-on-year), with 53 per cent having a maturity of over four years. Only three per cent of overall financial debt will fall due within the next twelve months. DIC Asset AG significantly reduced interest expenses by approx. EUR 8.4 million, to EUR 74.6 million (based on comparable financing volumes) during the first nine months of 2009, thanks to the optimisation of portfolio finance. Moreover, the Company negotiated a waiver of the original loan-to-value covenant for a EUR 440 million syndicated loan.

Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBDA) of EUR 46.6 million was lower than the EUR 53.2 million figure in 2008, reflecting lower volume of disposals. Cash flow from continuing operations (after interest and taxes paid) rose by EUR 1.5 million year-on-year, to EUR 38.7 million.

New business segment: investment funds

DIC Asset AG has commenced preparations for expanding its business model by a new segment: namely, the management of special investment funds. Attractive properties were selected for the first fund, with an innovative structuring technique developed for this sub-portfolio. DIC Asset AG will retain a minimum holding of 20% in each of the funds. The Company will apply its established asset and property management platform to manage the properties and optimise the portfolio.

DIC Asset AG should further grow its portfolio of profitable, low-risk properties through acquiring additional assets for the funds. The new investment offers will allow DIC Asset AG to explore new investor groups, whilst expanding its investment universe. At the same time, the Company will generate investment income, as well as stable real estate management fees.

Forecast for 2010

DIC Asset AG anticipates the economic environment for the entire real estate sector to remain difficult throughout 2010, with no recovery expected until 2011. The Company is, however, well-prepared for this scenario. Based on conservative estimates, DIC Asset AG expects its results for 2010 to remain positive, with rental income forecast at EUR 126 million, and operating profit between EUR 39 million and EUR 41 million.

Ulrich Höller, Chairman of the Management Board, said that DIC Asset AG exceeded its own projections in 2009, a year marked by crisis, generating solid and attractive results for our shareholders: "DIC Asset AG showed a very stable performance throughout the crisis, against the market trend. With our expansion into managing special funds, we will broaden the scope of our business, to establish an additional attractive source of income that will make a relevant contribution to stable earnings. We continue to envisage attractive buying opportunities, expected to emerge from the second half of 2010. With this in mind, we will be continuously reviewing our capitalisation."

Cushman & Wakefield received an exclusive mandate for the commercialisation of the Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries. The real estate consultant will also share their consultancy services with the historical shareholder, the “Société Civile Anonyme des Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert” for the commercial development of the Galleries.

Since 1990, Cushman & Wakefield is involved in 90% of shopping center lease transactions, and 50% of high street retail lease transactions in Belgium. Anspach (Brussels), Médiacité (Liège), K in Kortrijk and historical galleries like the Burlington Arcade in London or the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan are among the projects Cushman & Wakefield recently commercialized.

The Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries are amongst the most photographed buildings in the Belgian capital. At the core of the Ilot Sacré, close to the Grand Place, they welcome about 6 million visitors each year. The covered gallery in the center of Brussels was conceived by architect J.-P. Cluysenaar among others in 1845 and was at the time absolutely unique in Europe. 18 months later, King Leopold I and his two sons were inaugurating the most beautiful galleries on the continent, build on the former Rue Saint-Hubert, including the Queen’s Gallery, the King’s Gallery, and the Princes’ Gallery.

More than 150 years later, the founding families of the project are still leading the Society. The Gallery, which gained urban classing in 1986, is still the same one Victor Hugo, Karl Marx, Alexandre Dumas, Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, Charles Baudelaire, sisters Bronte and many others once visited back in the 19th Century.

At the Administrator Delegate, Alexandre Grosjean’s initiative, important renovation works were launched as from the start of the nineties. The first phase aimed at the full restoration of the outer frontages and the superb glass roof. The second phase focused on the foundations’ consolidation, the refurbishment of a certain amount of apartments, as well as the revival of both the Vaudeville and the Cinéma Arenberg-Gallery theaters. The third phase, which should take another 4 years from now, will concern the transformation of unoccupied apartments, the restoration of the Hôtel des Arcades (about 1,000 sq.m.), the renovation of the outer frontages, of the Princes’ Gallery, of the Rue des Bouchers’s colonnade, the refurbishment of a few staircases, and the upgrading of the Théâtre des Galeries to the current standards. These works will conciliate estate protection, adaptation to modern life, and sustainable development. For instance, the possibility of creating photovoltaic energy in situ and the adoption of a more performing and less expensive lighting system will both be investigated in a survey. At the board’s initiative, the renovation of the buildings will go with the modernization of the Society’s management. Reputed professionals in the sector of real estate, like Cushman & Wakefield advise the Society in the development of the Galleries’ new commercial strategy.

Beata Hryniewska, Head of Industrial Agency at Jones Lang LaSalle says: "Despite the pessimistic forecasts, approximately 1 million m² of warehouse space was leased last year (including expansions and renewals). This accounts for 2/3 of a total demand registered during the boom-year – 2008. Systematic increase of demand across the whole country and clear growth (increased interest in leasing of warehouse space) in 4Q 2009 suggests a slow return of stabilisation at the market.”

According to Karolina Margielewska, research analyst at Jones Lang LaSalle, the warehouse market in Poland was heavily impacted by the economic slowdown in general. Additional effect is a change in the occupiers’ profile. “The logistic companies are not a key occupier any more, the share of production and trade companies is increasing. In addition, more and more companies are interested in build to suit projects, as well as are interested in leasing and adaptation of space for the production firms.”

Last year also rents were decreasing on all markets across Poland. "High vacancy rates (18.1% in Poland), force developers to aggressive strategies and therefore rents decrease. It is forecasted, that in 2010 we will see rents stabilizing on the same level as in 2009,” adds Marzena Zielonka, Senior Consultant at Jones Lang LaSalle Industrial Agency.

Limited pipeline and stable demand level should result in reduction of vacant space on the market. However, the sublease market which has already caused slowdown in the industrial sector, will also have a negative impact on the absorption.

Currently there are only six warehouse development under construction totalling approximately 100,000 m² which accounts for 10% of new build projects in 4Q 2008. In such case there is limited perspective for a significant increase on the industrial space stock in Poland and the total stock should oscillate around 6.4 million m² by the end of 2010.

Jones Lang LaSalle experts estimate, that demand for modern industrial space in Poland will remain similar to 2009 and it will not reach the level of 1.5 million m2 recorded in 2008. It is estimated that around 1.2 million m² of industrial space will be leased both in existing, planned or “build to suit” projects. The conclusion is that whilst a slowdown is the industrial markets is unquestionable. However, a very negative forecast had not proved to be correct. The market has defended itself by the driving power of its growth.

A proximité d’un mail central arboré et face au parc de la Navale, cette résidence de 37 logements, sur une SHON de 2 720 m2, sera la dernière en front de mer et bénéficiera donc d’une magnifique vue à 180° sur la ville et sur la mer ! C’est la raison pour laquelle Eiffage Immobilier Azur a encouragé une architecture, conçue par le cabinet Pietri Archtiectes, aux lignes épurées offrant la meilleure exposition et valorisant ce cadre de vie privilégié.

Lylo marine évoquera l’architecture méditerranéenne et balnéaire par la blancheur de son bâti ponctuée de touches azuréennes des persiennes, et la présence de claustras. De conception traiditionnelle, les appartements, du T2 au T4, posséderont des prestations de qualité et un système de rafraîchissement / chauffage innovant et peu énergivore, grâce à une pompe à chaleur collective eau / eau fonctionnant sur une boucle d’eau de mer. Chaque logement sera prolongé d’une terrasse, pouvant atteindre plus 80 m2 pour un T4 au dernier niveau. Au rez-de-chaussée, places de parking privatives et locaux commerciaux faciliteront le quotidien des propriétaires, que ce soit en résidence principale ou secondaire. Ce programme est également éligible en loi Scellier.

L'Association QUALITEL, organisme indépendant chargé de promouvoir et favoriser la qualité de l'habitat en France (environnementale, sanitaire, maîtrise des charges), a pour vocation de guider les particuliers dans leur recherche de biens immobiliers de qualité. Grâce au portail www.qualitel.org et à son moteur de recherche intégré, un particulier peut désormais identifier les programmes immobiliers dont la qualité est certifiée par un organisme expert. A partir de mars, QUALITEL part à la rencontre du grand public sur les plus grands salons immobiliers nationaux et régionaux.

Le premier moteur de recherche pour trouver son logement de qualité certifiée sur Internet :

Grâce au moteur de recherche « Trouver un logement certifié », en page d'accueil du site qualitel.org - portail dédié à la qualité de l'habitat pour tous - le particulier a accès à une base de données recensant l'ensemble des biens immobiliers disponibles certifiés ou en cours de certification.

Cette application permet de sélectionner les constructions selon les critères : achat ou location / maison individuelle, maison individuelle en lotissement ou appartement, et selon la région ou la ville recherchée.

Le particulier peut ensuite contacter directement le promoteur ou le bailleur social (dans ce dernier cas, le demandeur devra être éligible pour l'accession à un logement social).

Le moteur de recherche qualitel.org propose également aux particuliers la réception de nouvelles annonces répondant à leurs critères.

Actuellement ce sont plus de 3 200 programmes certifiés qui sont proposés sur le moteur de recherche qualitel.org.

Un logement certifié : quelles garanties ?

QUALITEL porte une offre de certifications », dont l'objectif est de garantir la qualité intrinsèque de chaque logement, ainsi que des parties communes pour les bâtiments collectifs : « Qualitel », « Habitat & Environnement », « NF Logement » et « NF Maison Individuelle.

Si ces certifications proposent un socle commun, isolation thermique, isolation acoustique, qualité des équipements, durabilité, chacune couvre ensuite des domaines spécifiques comme la préservation de l'environnement tout au long du cycle de vie du logement, l'optimisation des charges (eau, chauffage, etc.), l'accessibilité ainsi que des options pour accroître certaines performances (énergétiques, acoustiques, etc.).

Les labels énergétiques définis par les pouvoirs publics, BBC (Bâtiment Basse Consommation), HPE ou THPE (Très Haute Performance Energétique) sont délivrés en option des certifications.

Opter pour un logement certifié est donc pour l'utilisateur final un gage de confort au quotidien et lui permet de bénéficier d'un habitat dont la valeur patrimoniale est optimisée dans le temps.

Afin de sensibiliser et d'informer le grand public sur les bénéfices d'un logement certifié, QUALITEL participe aux salons de l'immobilier tout au long de l'année.

A propos de QUALITEL :

Depuis 1974, l'Association QUALITEL est un organisme indépendant à but non lucratif reconnu par les pouvoirs publics et qui a pour objectif de promouvoir et d'évaluer la qualité de l'habitat. Son conseil d'administration fédère les représentants des principaux acteurs de la construction, les utilisateurs de logements et les consommateurs, les organismes intervenant dans la qualité de la construction ainsi que les pouvoirs publics.

Plus de 110 000 logements ont fait l'objet d'une demande de certification Qualitel, Habitat & Environnement, NF Logement ou NF Maison individuelle en 2009. Près de 1 000 maîtres d'ouvrage s'y sont engagés, dont Bouygues Immobilier, l'Immobilière 3F, COGEDIM, Paris Habitat,…

Une trentaine de collectivités territoriales et d'aménageurs sont également prescripteurs de la certification.

The TriGranit representatives were also received in the City Hall by a delegation of the City Council, headed by Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandic, to discuss the progress in the first phase of Arena Centar, the master plan for its future phases, as well as in general the further development of Zagreb and possibilities for future TriGranit investments.

The TriGranit representatives also undertook a tour of the multipurpose venue Arena Zagreb, which TriGranit developed in a PPP partnership together with INGRA, Zagreb City and Croatian Government.
During the Arena Centar site tour, the TriGranit delegation was given a brief and presented with the final architectural illustrations of the Centre’s large outdoor area, which will offer visitors a pleasant urban landscaped area, full of interactive sculptures, benches, a large fountain, cafes and restaurants, as well as a modern square technically equipped for outdoor events.

“We are happy to see good progress in the building of Arena Centar, which represents our flagship project in Croatia. We can already see in this first phase that our vision of creating a new and modern city centre in the Croatian capital will be truly realized,” said TriGranit Chairman Sándor Demján.
To date 45% of all construction works have been completed. According to the dynamics of works, by 1 May 2010, Arena Centar’s tenants will already be able to start fitting out their stores.


"We’re impressed with the cooperation, flexibility and efficiency of our General Contractor – a consortium of three Croatian companies led by Mucic & Co. I can confirm that building works are 2.5 weeks ahead of schedule. The roof is already becoming visible, while in a few weeks time Arena Centar’s recognizable façade will also be visible. We’re also very happy with our leasing activities, given that over 80% of retail space has already at this stage been leased. We’re looking forward to announcing soon the brands that we will be introducing to the Croatian market. By combining shopping, leisure, entertainment, gastronomy, as well as the synergy with the Arena Zagreb venue, Arena Centar will create a new regional meeting place in Zagreb," said TriGranit CEO Árpád Török.

From the beginning of construction in July 2009, works have been carried out in two shifts. On site are currently over 450 workers in the first shift and 150 in the second, increasing day by day. Works are supervised on site by the IGH Institute and coordinated by TriGranit’s expert team.

Arena Centar will comprise of: 10 large anchor and 200 small to medium-sized stores – which will include a large number of new fashion brands; a Spar hypermarket on 10,000 square meters; a CineStar multiplex cinema with 9 screens; and many other entertainment and gastronomic services new on the Croatian market. Visitors will have at their disposal 3,500 parking lots. A novelty that TriGranit is introducing is the fact that Arena Centar will be adapted for persons with special needs.

The Hungarian majority owned TriGranit is the 4th largest fully integrated real estate development and management company in Europe (PropertyEU 2010). With operations in 7 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, a large portfolio of completed trophy assets, and a pipeline of major mixed-use developments, as well as a number of public private partnership (PPP) investments, TriGranit is well positioned to participate in the expanding real estate markets.

The former Leeds Chest Clinic, 74 New Briggate, is to become the city’s new base for electrical goods retailer and hi-fi and audio visual specialist, Richer Sounds, after being sold for £555,000 by property consultants King Sturge, acting for Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

The Grade II, 9,350 ft² building, which was built in 1865 close to what was then the city’s main public transport station so people with breathing difficulties did not have far to walk, stopped being used as a chest clinic two years ago.

Richer Sounds, which was founded in 1979 and has 50 outlets throughout the UK, including two others in Yorkshire at York and Sheffield, has been based on two floors of a shop in Vicar Lane, Leeds, and will move into the former medical building this spring.

Richard Harris, industrial agency and development team partner says: “We started marketing this property in January 2009 and were pleased to secure eight strong bids while the UK was still in the depths of recession which shows the market is still keen for distinctive buildings with history and character."

“This is an attractive, ornate property on a main route out of Leeds which represents a good investment for the private buyer. Leeds City Council will doubtless be pleased to see it brought back into use by Richer Sounds, a retailer which is expanding.”

Richer Sounds property director, Matt Oxer, says: “This property is in a better, more visible, location than our current outlet which will allow us to trade from one larger floor and which will have better demonstration and storage facilities.”

The former clinic building, which features entablature on three pairs of Corinthian columns, is designated of special architectural interest and was designed in an Italianate style by celebrated Leeds architect, William Hill, who was behind several other celebrated Victorian buildings including Portsmouth Guildhall and Yeadon Town Hall.

Director of estates and facilities at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Darryn Kerr, says: “The sale of the former Leeds Chest Clinic is extremely good news for Leeds people as the proceeds will go back into the trust budget to help ensure our hospitals can deliver the high-quality care NHS patients expect.

“The services provided there were replaced some time ago by a much more modern and patient-friendly Chest Clinic based at Leeds General Infirmary. The old building does, however, have a special place in the history of this city and we look forward to seeing this local landmark give many more years of service in its new guise.”

The Leeds office of King Sturge is among the region’s largest independent firm of chartered surveyors and property consultants with 75 staff providing property agency and investment services throughout Yorkshire and Humber and North Derbyshire.
