Project: Mercer West Madison East, Leeds
Sector: Build-to-rent
Client: Caddick Developments
Main Contractor: Caddick Construction
Architects: DLG Architects
Furniture: Kitchens for 331 apartments
This scheme is part of SOYO Leeds - a new neighbourhood in the heart of the city which has transformed a site along The Headrow.
A mix of studio, one, two and three-bed apartments have been provided, together with new public realm, outdoor courtyards, retail, restaurant and ground floor amenity spaces.
The Kitchen Solutions
We provided bespoke, contemporary kitchens for 331 apartments in a range of configurations to suit each apartment layout.
Our £1.6m contract involved the manufacture and installation of around 4,500 items of furniture including base and wall cabinets, drawers, tall fridge unit, oven housing and solid white quartz worktops.
Each kitchen was fully equipped by Deanestor with integrated appliances – a built-in oven, microwave, ceramic hob, washer dryer, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
A Stylish Design Theme
The kitchen cabinetry was supplied in two colour palettes for alternate floors – stone grey and dark blue, and with black D-shaped handles and brushed satin taps.
Each apartment has oak flooring throughout the kitchen, dining, living, and utility areas to create a seamless flow.
The homes have a range of amenities including an exclusive on-site gym, bike storage and repair station, 24/7 concierge, residents’ lounge and secure private parking.
Customer Insight
Eugene Cannon, Senior Quantity Surveyor, Caddick Construction:
"The Deanestor team excelled commercially and in the design phase for this complext and large-scale co-living scheme. They were helpful at each stage and had a common-sense approach to any challenges, such as the need to upgrade appliances. The finished kitchens are great – good quality, contemporary detailing, superior worktops, and gave us the value for money we were looking for."
