This building is sure to become a testament of modern architecture in Sheffield's ever-changing skyline." Mike Parkinson, managing director of Totty Construction, commented: "This latest contract award closely follows a number of high profile regeneration schemes Totty has secured over the last few months in major UK urban centres.
Totty has built up considerable expertise working in confined and busy city centre sites, and alongside our considerate construction practices, this continues to prove a highly attractive proposition to developers.".
