Keepmoat subsidiary MCI Developments has started on site at three developments in Greater Manchester and Lancashire, which will deliver 84 affordable homes across the region.
When complete the homes in Oswaldtwistle, Leigh, and Tyldesley will be made available through housing associations Places for People, Your Housing Group and Torus, representing a multi-million pound investment into the regeneration of the North West.
In Oswaldtwistle the developer is regenerating abandoned and derelict land, formerly home to Ryddings Mill. The site will be transformed into a 37-home development available for affordable rent in partnership with Places for People. MCI Developments will create 27 semi-detached and mews properties, consisting of two and three-bedroom homes, and 10 semi-detached town houses.
The developer has also started work with Torus on a site in Shakerley Road, Tyldesley, unlocking another important piece of land in the North West. MCI Developments will transform the 2.4 acre site into 37 affordable homes which will be managed by Torus.
In Leigh, 10 additional homes will be delivered on MCI Developments’s joint venture at Waterside Point with Your Housing Group. The additional plots make use of derelict brownfield land with the site formerly home to a closed nightclub and gym. The scheme will deliver a mix of one bedroom flats, two- and three bedroom homes.
Craig Murphy, Regional MD at MCI Developments, said: “Across these sites we are making a significant investment into creating fantastic communities, improving biodiversity and upgrading frequently used public footpaths. We’re proud to stand alongside our partners to mark the beginning of our delivery of new developments.”
