The 548-bed project named Threadworks delivered for client CASL Lisbon Street, has gone up on the corner of Lisbon Street and Castle Street and is part of the wider redevelopment of the former International Swimming Pool site. The development was managed jointly by DLC Europe and Colliers, with KS4 in the employer's agent role.

The 24-storey single tower block comprises single occupancy and en-suite bedrooms along with shared amenities such as cinema rooms, a fitness centre, relaxation spaces, a games room and a TV lounge.
