Welcome to our September edition of Newsplash - a monthly round-up of all things Urban Splash, featuring new homes, scheme launches, commercial news and much more.

This month, we've got news of more brilliant new businesses moving into the commercial space at Mansion House apartments, New Islington Marina. There's a first look at the brand new Row House homes coming soon to Port Loop in Birmingham, where customers can design their dream layout. At Royal William Yard in Plymouth, we're welcoming more great businesses to Melville - our newest building at the yard, with more than 90% of the space now let. Back in Manchester, our rental homes and apartments at New Islington are in demand, and there's news of a brand new social competition - #myHus. Read on to find our more.
