Construction work is set to begin on the site of the former Bryn Awel hotel in Mold.
Anwyl Partnerships is building a development of 23 high quality apartments for housing provider Wales & West Housing.
It is under a 10-year contract partnership between the builder and housing association.
The partnership has enabled both teams to work together to successfully establish the local housing need and identify, purchase and develop the land, inclusive of design and planning, up to the point of construction.
Works to demolish the existing Bryn Awel hotel took place earlier in the year, whilst further site clearance works have been completed in preparation for construction work to start in January 2021.
The new apartments will be a welcome replacement for the dilapidated hotel, which had been left as an eyesore in the town.
In addition the construction work is set to bring employment and apprenticeship opportunities for people living within the community.
Tom Anwyl, managing director at Anwyl Partnerships, said: “It’s rewarding to see work begin following an extensive period of careful planning and negotiation.
“Our relationship with Wales & West Housing is a true partnership in every sense of the word. We have discussed, scrutinised and analysed every element of the scheme with our partner, from concept to delivery.
“This is a fantastic development that creates much needed homes for local people, whist making use of brownfield land and bringing regeneration to the town.”
This scheme is the second to be delivered by Anwyl Partnerships under a 10-year contract.
Joanna Davoile, director of development at Wales & West Housing, said: “We are proud to be transforming this prominent site in Mold into much-needed affordable housing for the local community.
“The apartments are in a convenient location close to the town centre and will provide families with high quality, warm, energy efficient new homes.”
