Victoria Gate is looking for a groundbreaker

Victoria Gate, a new landmark retail development in Leeds, is one of the more heavyweight projects in the BIM.Technologies portfolio.

We were chosen by construction firm Sir Robert McAlpine to enhance the project with our unbeatable BIM coordination, helping to deliver a detailed virtual model of the proposed site. A complex design, it draws on Leeds' proud history in textiles by creating buildings that look like they really do have "texture".

Now, as Victoria Gate fast approaches its construction phase, property developer Hammerson is asking residents of the city to nominate unsung heroes who have "played a key part in Leeds’ thriving community" for a very special role. The chosen candidate will push the button on the piling rig that starts the build of the flagship John Lewis department store - the first of its kind in Leeds.

It is great for us at BIM.Technologies to see what an impact Victoria Gate is already having on Leeds. The city is one of four that we have offices in around the north of England, and we feel very much invested in the city's future.

You can read more details about the groundbreaker opportunity on the Victoria Gate site, while the future shopping centre's Twitter feed hosts a number of photos of the construction process so far.
