URUK completed the construction of a 179 unit apartment scheme in the conservation area of the Leicester city centre. The complex scheme was undertaken on the existing site of the former Wimbledon Mills textile factory which involved refurbishment of 4 individual residential apartment blocks and the demolition and construction of a new 8 storey steel frame apartment building.

The Alexandra building on the site had a Grade II listed facade, and as such the buildings within the entire development were viewed in the grounds of this listing. The development briefly comprised the following,

  • Wimbledon Building - 37 one and two bed apartments over 5 floors (Refurbished)
  • Southampton Building - 18 one and two bed apartments over 4 floors (Refurbished)
  • Courtyard Building - 49 one and two bed apartments over 8 floors (New Build)
  • Rutland Building - 38 one and two bed apartments over 5 floors (Refurbished)
  • Alexandra Building - 37 one and two bed apartments over 4 floors (Refurbished)
