Consultancy appointed to support £85m apartment development

A growing Midlands construction consultancy has been appointed to support one of the biggest residential projects ever to be built in Leeds city centre.

Birmingham-based The Construction Consultants (TCC) has been appointed to support the £85m Castleton Works scheme, which will provide nearly 400 build-to-rent apartments. Detailed planning permission has been granted by Leeds City Council.

The development, on the regenerated west side of Leeds city centre near The Junction and Wellington Place, will also provide three shop units, a gym, a padel court, roof gardens and roof terraces, open green space and parking facilities with electric vehicle charging points.

TCC has been involved since the initial project stages and is providing quantity surveying and cost consultancy for the development.

The project developer – Solaris – has developed similar schemes at The Crown Works and The Emporium in Birmingham and The Chapel in Manchester.

TCC co-founder and director, Alex Pimley, said: “This is a prestigious scheme in a fast-evolving part of Leeds city centre which will create an urban community designed around the principles of sustainability and internal amenities, with ample green space to be enjoyed by residents.

“We are happy to be involved in such an imaginative scheme.”
