LEAD: construction in full swing, pre-sale started

Construction of LEAD in Leiden is well under way. The foundation blocks of towers 1 and 3 have been poured, the demolition of the former KPN building is in full swing and the second of three tower cranes is being assembled. At the same time the new LEAD website is live and the pre-sale has started.

On site

With the foundation blocks of towers 1 and 3 in place, the first two towers have their footing. Next to them the old KPN building is being taken down floor by floor, making room for the rest of the ensemble. And above it all the skyline of the site is changing: the second tower crane is going up, the third will follow.
