The Featherstone Building team celebrated reaching the highest point in construction with a topping out ceremony on Thursday 8th July 2021. The building is due to complete in March 2022.

Main contractor Skanska is striving for BREEAM Outstanding and LEED Platinum environmental accreditations for the £57m development.

Steve Arthrell, Project Director, commented: “To meet both the property company and Skanska’s net-zero carbon targets we worked together to incorporate sustainable features that will help to reduce both the annual water consumption and operational carbon used by over 50 per cent.

“By working with our integrated team of mechanical, electrical and public health experts, we drew on our collective knowledge and expertise to incorporate sustainable solutions that not only protect the environment now but can stand the test of time by easily adapting to future environmental and lifestyle changes.”
