Works on a new £34million light steel frame residential development have been completed in Leeds city centre. Managing the project for client Oakapple Group, Structural and Civil Engineering consultancy Dudleys were delighted to deliver the significant scheme on Sweet Street, comprising 216 units.
Pin Yard is a 12-storey build to rent (BTR) offering a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments alongside a private gym, lounge, co-use working spaces, gardens and a basement car park. The project is on a former warehouse site in the South Bank area. Grainger PLC, the UK’s largest listed private landlord, provided forward funding with planning consent for the site gained in 2019. Grainger will handle the scheme and will operate rentals within its BTR Portfolio.
Following completion of the project, Paul Brownlow, Dudley’s Director, said: “We are delighted to complete this significant scheme on behalf of Oakapple Group. As a local consultancy we are very familiar with the regional landscape and built environment. The project was not without its challenges, due to the tight site constrained by two main roads and delays caused by the pandemic. We have worked closely with the delivery team to complete a scheme of exacting standards, using advanced techniques that we are very proud of.”
Speaking for Oakapple Group, Chairman Phil Taylor congratulated the team on the projects successful completion saying: “It’s certainly not been easy for us but despite everything we have all had to face over the last 12 months, we continue to work together as a team. We are delighted the project completed successfully and we will definitely look to negotiate further projects with Dudleys.”
