We’ll be launching 170 houses and apartments in our final phases at New Islington in Manchester, where more modular homes will complete the city centre scheme.

The first to be launched will be our new Mansion House apartments, modular created homes by the New Islington Marina - we’ll launch these for sale this spring.

Much of the new pipeline homes is being delivered in joint venture with our partners – Places for People. One of the developments we’re working on together is the creation of 1,150 homes, public spaces, parks and more at Port Loop in Birmingham - a site we’re delivering with landowners Birmingham City Council and the Canals & Rivers Trust.

Along with Port Loop, our JV with Places for People has also been selected to develop a large 17 acre 500 home development at Campbell Park, Milton Keynes.

Another Places for People JV site is Smith's Dock, which will ultimately comprise 800 home, public realm, amenities and open up the waterfront. We’ve just completed 80 waterfront apartments at the Smokehouses there - adding to the 34 homes we’ve already created.

Our first ever joint venture with Peel will see us create 347 modular Houses at Wirral Waters. The JV was announced in January so watch this space for more news as we progress this new residential quarter.

Having completed phase one at Park Hill - which comprised 260 homes and 30,000 sq ft of workspaces we’re now on site with phase 2 - 199 more homes and 25,000 sq ft of workspace designed by Mikhail Riches. A deal has also been done which will see student accommodation operator Alumno transform the third phase of the scheme. Add to that the work we’ve done in helping S1 Artspace establish a permanent home here and Park Hill is a fine example of a regeneration project at work.

The Copper Building - which sits adjacent to our Lakeshore building - will complete this summer, offering 136 apartments and penthouses to buyers in South Bristol. Designed by Ferguson Mann, the building is located within 10 acres of private residents gardens, overlooking a lake.

30 David Morley-designed “futuristic” pods sit atop our Lister Mills scheme in Bradford, each offering some of the best views in the city. We’ve completed the homes this month and they’re available for sale or rent now.

We've also investing £11m into the 80,000 sq. ft commercial acquisitions and refurbishments of Beehive Mill, Ancoats and Boat Shed in Salford Quays in addition to the investment into existing holdings at Tea Factory and Vanilla Factory in Liverpool - resulting in upgraded and bang up-to-date workspaces in the cities where our roots started 26 years ago!

This award-winning success story goes on and we’ve recently commenced on site at the Melville building - the jewel in the Yard’s crown. This 90,000 sq. ft grade one listed building will be mixed use scheme - and we have just confirmed our first occupier will be boutique cinema operator Everyman.
