BACKGROUND
Phoenix Leeds is a brand new private residential scheme of 367 luxury apartments in the centre of Leeds.
Upon completion, this impressive new complex will be the fourth tallest residential building on the Leeds city skyline and the tallest building built in Leeds in over a decade. Block A reaches an impressive 21 storeys at 223ft high, and Block B stands at 180ft with 17 storeys.
Howard Civil Engineering has been chosen by our client, Torsion Group, to deliver the reinforced concrete basement for this highly anticipated new development.
The central location of the development presents challenging site constraints, with limited room for material storage and laydown. Howard Civil Engineering are well-equipped to navigate the challenges posed by the small site footprint, with deliveries being planned on an hour-by-hour basis and Howard Plant Hire’s nearby plant yard being utilised for storage and prefabrication of reinforcement.
