Caddick Construction has reinforced its presence on Great Places Housing Group鈥檚 Innovation Chain North (ICN) framework with an 拢18m contract to build a block of flats on the corner of Grey Mare Lane and Ashton New Road in east Manchester.
The development of 82 apartments will form part of the wider Grey Mare Lane regeneration masterplan. It will be a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments available for social rent. The work, which is part-funded by Homes England and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) brownfield housing fund, is expected to be completed in 2027.
The Grey Mare Lane scheme adds to Caddick鈥檚 portfolio of residential projects in Greater Manchester, following the completion of 131 apartments at the Guinness Partnership鈥檚 Edward Street development in Stockport. Caddick also recently completed the West Vale development in Oldham, which saw the construction of 26 contemporary homes and 62 apartments for First Choice Homes Oldham.
Great Places Housing Group development director Nick Gornall said that Caddick鈥檚 聽鈥渆xpertise and collaborative approach鈥� had been 鈥渧ital鈥� in the pre-contract phase.
Dave Saville, regional managing director of Caddick Construction North West, said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e proud to be appointed to the first scheme of Great Places鈥� planned developments to bring much-needed affordable housing to the area. The project will play a key role in providing access to high-quality homes and creating a sustainable community for local people and families in East Manchester.鈥�
