en.Wedoany.com Reported - Construction contractor Winvic has been appointed as the main contractor for a Build-to-Rent (BTR) apartment project in Leeds, UK, located on the former International Swimming Pool site, which will deliver 578 homes. The project, commissioned by Lisbon Street Developments (a joint venture between Marrico Asset Management and Helios Real Estate), is expected to commence construction in the fourth quarter of this year.

The project will involve the construction of two towers, 33 and 22 storeys high respectively, built atop a shared podium and basement. The development also includes resident leisure spaces, commercial units, rooftop terraces, and balconies. This contract marks Winvic's return to the area, having completed a 548-bed student accommodation project on the same site six months ago, now continuing the next phase of urban regeneration. The BTR tower is the third major project on this redevelopment site, following the student accommodation and the currently under-construction aparthotel.

The project will incorporate photovoltaic panels, decentralized air-source heat pumps, and enhanced building envelopes, aiming to reduce operational energy consumption and targeting a Home Quality Mark 3.5-star rating. Mark Jones, Managing Director of Winvic's Multi-Room division, stated that in collaboration with Marrico Asset Management, the company looks forward to delivering a high-quality residential project that contributes to Leeds' continued growth and provides homes in a bustling city centre area. He added that following the company's recent work on the same site, this development fully demonstrates its capabilities, and the project's scale, complexity, and prominent city centre location make it an exciting addition to Winvic's portfolio.
