And finally… Play well!
Vastint has paid homage to Aire Park’s heritage with a recreation of the Tetley building made from Lego bricks.
Made using 92,164 Lego parts in 416 hours, the model has been installed in the atrium of the development’s newly completed 3 South Brook Street.
It is available for visitors to view and photograph throughout the half term break until Friday 1 November.
Depicting Vastint UK’s proposed plans for the Tetley building, the model was created by Brick Galleria, which has produced models for companies such as The Lego Group, Walt Disney, and Marvel.
Professional brick artist from Brick Galleria and TV-featured expert Kevin Hall said: “Brick Galleria is really excited for everyone in Leeds to come and see the highly detailed, scale replica Lego brick Tetley model that we have created and be inspired to reimagine this piece of Leeds’ history.”
Michael Cronin, head of portfolio at Vastint UK added: “As custodians of The Tetley, we are dedicated to ensuring the building is open for the next 100 years and able to be used by the whole Leeds community.
“We wanted to help people visualise our plans and hope the public is as excited about the building’s future as we are.”
Once complete, the Aire Park development will span 24 acres of the city’s South Bank.
The development will also deliver more than 1m sq ft of commercial space and 1,400 homes with easy access to Leeds city centre.
