Ironworks

Background

We are thrilled to be delivering the groundworks and six-storey RC Frame on this exciting new mixed use development in Leeds for our client, Esh Construction. 

Ironworks is a 0.35 hectacre site located in Holbeck Urban Village, an increasingly popular suburb of Leeds which was crowned UK and Ireland's 'Best Neighbourhood' at the 2015 Urbanism Awards. Upon completion in Autumn 2021, Ironworks will comprise 58 one, two and three bedroom luxury apartments, 15 townhouses and two units totalling 1,400sq ft of retail space.

This will be the first residential scheme to feature houses in the Urban Village for many years, marking a new chapter in the development of Leeds South Bank. The innovative scheme has already made headlines after achieving project winner at the 2019 Housing Design Awards.

Scope of work

• The foundations are a pilecap and ground beam solution
• Due to restricted space onsite we intend to prefabricate a large portion of reinforcement up in our yard which is under six miles away, which will support our ‘just time’ delivery culture on the scheme
• With a floor plate in excess of 900m2, the scheme consist of over 2500m3 of structural concrete and over 300tns of reinforcement
