Global property consultancy, Knight Frank, said a range of imaginative and pioneering asset management initiatives in Yorkshire have helped it to win a major national award.

Knight Frank’s property asset management team has won the Property Management Innovator Award at the prestigious 2020 Estates Gazette Awards.

Amy Wood, an associate at Knight Frank’s Leeds office, said: “We are absolutely delighted – and very proud - to have won this highly coveted award.

"We believe it is a reflection of the different ways in which we try to add value to our property management service for our clients.

“Clients expect more than just rent collection and property inspections from their property managers these days."

She said Knight Frank has a strong focus on occupier retention and sustainability.

"We work with our clients to offer bespoke ideas and innovative forms of property management in order to make assets perform at their best," she added.

“We focus on building an identity for individual properties, considering how buildings can better perform for both their occupiers and our clients to make them stand out as market-leading locations. We achieve this through innovative thinking and actual implementation of ideas."

Knight Frank’s work in Yorkshire includes consultancy advice to Muse Developments on a new Grade A office development in the centre of Bradford. This involved the production of a management strategy review to ensure that practical management issues were taken into account at the design stage in order to ensure maximum building efficiency at PC.

Ms Wood added: “It is also important to mention our highly valued work on the Green Travel Plan at Sterling Capitol’s Capitol Park East in Leeds.

"This initiative is a package of travel measures tailored to the needs of the individual organisations at Capitol Park, aimed at promoting sustainable travel choices.

“The Travel Plan is not anti-car, but encourages people to consider the range of travel options that are available to them. It places great emphasis on sustainability and the health of everyone who works at Capitol Park.”

Paul Beckett, head of development at Sterling Capitol, said: “This award is richly deserved. We enjoy working with Knight Frank and our tenants on our Green Travel Plan at Capitol Park in Leeds.

“We share the same objectives and our close collaboration ensures these objectives are achieved. We take great pride in our green credentials, which enhance the working lives of our occupiers, as well as demonstrating our long term commitment to our parks.”
