After securing a double win, Phoenix Brickwork will transform part of Leeds with a regeneration project which will add 451 apartments.
With offices in Pinxton, Derbyshire, and Northampton, the National brickwork, scaffolding and SFS specialist, has started on the first phase of the Sweet Street South bank regeneration project for client, Winvic in Leeds.
This phase includes three apartment blocks, reaching 15 storeys high and commercial and public space, and alongside the residential offering, there will also be work on the refurbishment of a historic pub, The Commercial Inn, and creation of a new 4,000 sq ft grocery store. There will also be a focal point on the new public area having a curated green space.
Group Chairman at Phoenix Brickwork (UK) Ltd, Christian Watson, has expressed his excitement for delivering multi-trade construction solutions which include brickwork and scaffolding.
Christian commented: “Phoenix Brickwork is proud to offer clients integrated and reliable construction solutions, and it is times like these when we can support with more than masonry.
“Our clients know that we are experts in masonry, SFS and scaffolding, and we are winning multi-trade work on construction projects.”
Additionally to building these apartments, which will be high-quality homes rated EPC B or above, a new gym, residents’ lounge, co-working space and two roof terraces will be installed.
All homes will feature renewable energy sources, energy-efficient heating and lighting systems, and smart in-home technologies. The scheme consists of a concrete frame containing three blocks, and the apartments will range from having one bedroom to three.
Scaffolding Managing Director at Phoenix Brickwork, Sam McSpadden, said: “It is always great news when we can offer a scaffolding and masonry package to a client and win the project.
“Winning multi-trade work on construction projects means we can streamline delivery, minimise delays and get started as soon as possible.
“The Sweet Street regeneration project on the South Bank is going to transform Leeds, and we are looking forward to getting started.
“Once again, our scaffolding team are delighted to be working alongside our brickwork family to provide high-quality work.”
