CONDITIONING House played a key role in the UK s textile industry but for 30 years stood in a sorry state. Now, as the T&A has reported, an £18 million restoration by Priestley Homes has transformed it into stylish apartments. Here we look back at the mighty Cape Street mill complex over the years. Grade II listed Conditioning House was built in 1902 by Bradford Corporation, through a special Act of Parliament. It was the only Council-run centre in the UK for wool testing and almost 70 per cent of all wool produced in the UK was brought there first. In its heyday UK-made wool was brought in to Conditioning House to check and control the moisture content.
SIR - Re the T&A April 23 headline Iconic Building saved at last . I am so pleased to see the fabulous transformation and re-birth of the Conditioning House, one of Bradford s finest and most unique buildings. Congratulations to Nathan Priestley, the founder and chief executive officer of Priestley Homes, for seeing its potential in setting about carefully restoring the building that will provide high specification modern living for the 21st century. I am not surprised that the project collected an award for best residential development in Yorkshire at the 2018/19 UK Property Awards, years before its completion. It was pleasing to hear that Bradford Civic Society is in awe of the regeneration, in saying: It s refreshing to see such quality.
ONE of Bradford’s most ambitious regeneration projects has been completed, bringing historic Conditioning House back into use after 30 years of neglect. Built in 1902, the one-of-a-kind building was once a key player in the country’s woollen industry, but it had fallen into a dilapidated state. Over the last four years, it has been transformed in an £18 million residential scheme by Leeds-based developer Priestley Homes, becoming the firm’s biggest project to date. The group’s main contractor, Priestley Construction has meticulously refurbished the two four-storey buildings, which are connected on the south side, and converted them into 153 modern apartments.
