Caddick Construction hands over at £25m Stonebridge Mills
The contractor has completed a renovation and new-build project in Leeds for Rushbond comprising 112 homes.
Billed as a “heritage village” Rushbond’s Stonebridge Beck sits within the grade two-listed mills complex.
The 112 properties include mill townhouses, contemporary new-build homes and restored cottages.
Construction work began in May 2021 and has seen the derelict 19th century mill and cottages restored and refurbished within a 9.1-acre site.
Rushbond said features including original signage, a cast-iron weigh bridge, and an internal stone staircase with cast-iron balustrade have been restored, along with chimneys.
Caddick’s work on-site also included the installation of incoming utility services, associated plot drainage, estate infrastructure, ancillary works, highway works and car charging for all properties.
JW Maud, chairman at Rushbond, said: “We have been delighted to work with the talented Caddick team and to deliver the Rushbond vision – a respectful, significant heritage anchored residential community, harnessing and preserving Leeds’ gem for a new future.”

Steve Ford, regional managing director of Caddick Construction Group in Yorkshire and the North East, said: “Delivering Rushbond’s vision to create Stonebridge Beck and bringing this historic mill site back to life was a project that required meticulous attention to detail and I’m very proud of what the Caddick team has achieved.
“Preserving history while creating something contemporary and sustainable is a fine balance and the result is a stunning residential development by Rushbond that pays tribute to Leeds’ industrial heritage.
“The historic significance of these Georgian and Victorian mills meant that it was important that we worked closely with the planning and heritage officers, as well as registering our site with the Considerate Constructors Scheme to make sure we delivered the development to an impeccable standard.”
