Graham To Build Apartments At Wirral Waters

Construction News Image
Construction firm Graham has been appointed to build a catalytic and sustainable development of 500 apartments within the emerging Northbank neighbourhood at Wirral Waters.

Work will begin in spring of 2022 on the £130 million development, currently known as Wirral Waters One, which is set to be the biggest single development at Wirral Waters to date, within one of the largest and most sustainable regeneration projects in the UK.

Peel L&P's appointment of Graham follows an agreement signed last month between Peel L&P and Pension Insurance Corporation plc to fund the development.

The development will include 500 one and two-bedroom waterfront apartments, including 100 affordable new homes. Rents on the affordable units will be a maximum of 80% of open market value, delivering significant social impact.

The project has been designed with sustainability at its core, utilising a range of energy efficient and low carbon technologies to reduce carbon emissions.

The new homes have also been designed to be 'resource efficient' by reducing water and energy consumption, prioritising natural lighting, reducing wastage and using sustainable, energy efficient heating.

Landscaping and tree planting will surround the development, with parks, green spaces, dockside walkways and cycle routes already transforming the waterfront along Northbank. Residents will have access to cycling storage and electric vehicle charging points.

Richard Mawdsley, Director of Development for Wirral Waters at Peel L&P, said: "Our appointment of Graham is a major step forward to seeing more cranes and delivery activity at Wirral Waters. Graham is a leading construction business with excellent social value credentials. Working together, Peel L&P and Graham will also ensure that we bring more fantastic opportunities for the construction students at Wirral Met College throughout the 2.5 year build period of this game changing project."

Peter Reavey, Regional Director for Graham’s Building Division, said: "We are delighted to have been appointed as the contractor to develop these new homes for Peel L&P at Wirral Waters. At Graham, our focus is on 'delivering lasting impact', and this scheme, which includes 500 apartments, of which 100 are affordable new homes, will allow us to continue this proud tradition of constructing homes in the heart of the local communities where we operate.

"We have established a strong presence in the Merseyside region, and I look forward to continuing to work with the experienced local supply chain, as well as providing further opportunities for local students and young people to develop meaningful careers in the construction industry."
