The development, estimated to be worth £65 million, consists of 18 and 22 story tower blocks. These will replace the former Alton Cars showroom site on Saxton Lane, Leeds.

The piazza-style development will be situated adjacent to all major transport routes and will accommodate one, two and three-bed apartments. It will be located within walking distance of the high street and will create a connectivity route to the city.

NTP supplied 3 machines on Saxton Lane. 2 x Bocker Giant 2038 passenger & goods machines and 1 x GEDA 1500ZZP Transport Platform. We worked closely with the temporary works team to design the hoist ties in such a way that the modular façade of the building was able to withstand the tie loadings.

Both of the passenger hoists were placed in the basement of the building which allowed the site to feed materials to the ground floor level. Due to the small site footprint the basement was used to store material before it was distributed accordingly using the hoists.
The Transport Platform sat at level 13 and fed materials to the remaining 9 levels. This machine was carefully selected because of the low tie and base loadings that we are able to offer with this type of equipment.
