DBK and WSP scoop £80m Leeds scheme

Consultants DBK and WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff have landed key roles on Carillion’s £80m Tower Works mixed-use project in Leeds. DBK has been appointed project manager, while WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff is engineering consultant. The Jestico + Whiles-designed scheme comprises 147 canal-side apartments, 92,000 sq ft of commercial office space and 20,000 sq ft for retail outlets, bars and restaurants. Carillion is delivering the project for the Homes and Communities Agency. The one hectare brownfield site houses three grade-two listed Italianate Towers, which give the project its name.
