£2m Merseyside Scheme Complete
Keepmoat gathered with partners last week to celebrate the completion of a £2 million scheme comprising new retail accommodation and apartments in Bootle.
Stakeholders congregated with Keepmoat at Stanley Road to celebrate the official completion that has successfully transformed and regenerated the area and provides up to three retail units and 12 two-bedroom apartments.
The new development has been delivered by Keepmoat in partnership with Sefton Council through its Housing Market Renewal programme and Cosmopolitan Housing Group as the end user.
The retail units are available to occupiers hoping to take advantage of 5,597 sq ft of retail space that meets modern trading requirements and offers a secure private servicing area to the rear of the building. The space is flexible and can be occupied as one large retail unit, or subdivided into two or three smaller units ranging from 1,577 sq ft up to 5,597 sq ft in size. The units are available for sale or for rent.
The 12 apartments have been pre-sold by Keepmoat to Merseyside-based Cosmopolitan Housing Association. They will help to boost the supply of good quality affordable rented homes for local people.
In addition, Keepmoat Homes is currently on site in the nearby area developing new housing that, when complete, will provide more than 300 residential units.
The apartments have achieved level 3 under the Code for Sustainable Homes and the retail accommodation has secured a BREEAM rating of Very Good.
The building has been designed by local architecture practice, John McCall Architects. North West based construction firm Seddon Construction Limited were appointed by Keepmoat as the main contractor to undertake the building work on site.
The scheme has been funded by Keepmoat as the developer, with contributions from Sefton Council and investment of £720,000 from the Homes and Communities Agency’s (HCA) National Affordable Housing Programme.
