Luxury London living:
Islinghaus Apartments
Islinghaus Apartments is a luxurious
duplex apartment development, located
in the popular Angel district of North
London. Designed with the London working
professional as the end-user in mind,
£800,000 was spent on bringing this
previously neglected property to life.
The extensive renovation project was
the first in the capital for Leeds-based
contractor Priestley Construction,
part of the wider Priestley Group,
which specialises in heritage and listed
buildings. With this scheme, Priestley
Construction has delivered its
highest specification project yet. The
apartments provide the perfect setting
for those wanting to relax while still
being located at the centre of the city’s
action.
Having completed multiple
successful residential and commercial
developments throughout Leeds and
the North of England, they were ready
to make their mark in London.
Alongside this first project, Priestley
Construction already has a number of
other developments underway for more
clients across the city.
Starting with an ageing public house on
Packington Street in Islington, Priestley
Construction meticulously transformed
the building to produce three stunning
duplex apartments for rent.

Work to transform the public house
was no small feat. The developers were
faced with the challenge of creating
enough space to ensure the apartments
could be duplex homes. This meant
that construction work began with a
complete strip-out, followed by raising
the roof of the building to allow for the
second floor.
