New project win at former Tetley Brewery site, Leeds South Bank

We’re thrilled to have won a significant contract with global construction company Vastint. Based in a central area of Leeds, South bank is home to the iconic Tetley Brewery building which has stood since 1822.  

The land which totals 8.1 hectares, was acquired by Vastint back in 2016. Since then, they’ve worked in close consultation with Leeds City Council’s Planning Department and other stakeholders, with plans to redevelop the site into a vibrant, well connected and sustainable mixed use neighbourhood. The aim of the scheme is to support the expansion of the city core, providing a vital link connecting the city centre with the Tetley and its creative neighbours, through to the education district and the communities to the south. 

Moortown started work on site very recently, working on the first phase of its 6.6 hectares which sits between Crown Point Road to the south, Waterloo Street to the north, Meadow Lane to the east with the Tetley building at its centre.  

The first phase of our works includes: 

•   Construction of adopted link roads and sewers 
•   Associated utilities infrastructure 
•   Substructures to several buildings 
•   RC pile caps, ground beams and floor slabs 
•   Extensive hard landscaping and park areas 

We’re looking forward to seeing how the project progresses and the transformation that this will through its expansion of the city core and providing a link connecting the city centre.
