£80m Tower Works scheme moves forward
ENGINEERING consultancy WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff has been appointed by developer Carillion to help deliver the £80m Tower Works scheme in Leeds city centre.
The Leeds office will provide a range of services, including civil and structural engineering, building services and acoustics, for the project which is expected to start on site next January.
The completed scheme will have 147 residential units, 92,000 sq ft of commercial office space and 20,000 sq ft of retail, restaurant and bar spaces.
The development in Holbeck Urban Village forms part of the regeneration of Leeds South Bank.
David Hill, technical director at WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff, said: “This is a fantastic project for the company and we’re looking forward to helping realise the HCA and Carillion’s plans for this prestigious mixed-use scheme.”
Gareth Jackson, development director at Carillion Developments, added: “It’s unusual to have an engineering consultancy that offers so many different services in-house and we were impressed with the quality and proven track record across their specialisms.”
