Young construction professionals will be combining a site visit with socialising this month in a Tomorrow’s Leaders event in Derby.
The CIOB event, on 20 March, includes a tour of Friar Gate, a historic goods yard built in the 1870s on the edge of Derby city centre, now being redeveloped by Wavensmere Homes.
Derelict for more than 50 years, it is being transformed into a mixed-use development featuring 227 two- and three-bedroom townhouses, and a four-storey apartment building with 49 contemporary apartments.
All homes will benefit from air-source heat pumps, solar PV panels and EV charging.
The Grade II-listed Bonded Warehouse and Engine House are to be turned into a space for shops, restaurants, offices and a gym.
After the site tour, attendees can network at Derby University and take advantage of career advice from construction professionals.
