Independent building and civil engineering company Construction Partnership UK Group (CPUK) has won a £12m contract to build a riverfront apartment scheme in Salford.
The construction company is building The Waterhouse, an 86-high specification apartments off Worrall Street on the Salford side of the Irwell, which will feature roof terraces, private balconies in the one, two and three-bedroom apartments, a gym, cycle storage and option car parking spaces.
Some of the apartments, available to buy off plan, are duplexes.
Steve Burke, managing director of CPUK, said: “We have negotiated and won several high-quality residential builds during the past three years in Manchester and Salford.
“We have a lot of experience working on difficult sites and this project fits well with our expertise in residential new builds.”
The firm took part in a two-stage tender for the contract with Bolton-based developer Forshaw Land & Property Group.
Mr Burke said: “This is our second scheme with Forshaw following on from the successful 179 unit Huddersfield student accommodation development.
“Forshaw is a developer that takes unloved land and forgotten buildings and turns them into the unique spaces that bring land back to life.”
The project follows CPUK’s recently completed £2.3m project to transform redundant council offices in Chorlton for developer Retail Property Investments and a project on a 1960s building in Manchester Road, using a mixed use scheme of three retail units and 22 apartments.
