Halfway Point Reached On Edward Street Development In Stockport
Caddick Construction and The Guinness Partnership are marking the halfway point of the Edward Street development in Stockport, which will bring 131 new homes to the community.
The milestone was celebrated with key local figures, including Councillor Colin MacAlister, Stockport’s Cabinet Member for Economy, Regeneration & Housing, along with Paul Richards, Deputy CEO, and Andy Kippax, Head of Housing Strategy from Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, highlighting the importance of the project in the town's ongoing regeneration.
Meeting demand for high-quality affordable new homes in the area, this 11-storey development will comprise 131 one and two-bedroom apartments with a range of amenities, including over 130 cycle storage spaces, EV charging points, landscaping and public realm improvements to promote biodiversity.
The new development will feature 63 homes for affordable rent and 68 for social rent, adding to the 12,000 homes managed by The Guinness Partnership in the Greater Manchester area and 70,000 homes across England.
Edward Street marks the second of The Guinness Partnership’s affordable housing developments delivered by Caddick in the North West, with the regional contractor also building 63 new homes at Kiwi Street in Salford.
The next phase of construction at Edward Street will see Caddick's specialist facade contractor, CCL Facades, deliver the curtain walling system, including the business’ own patented A2-rating aluminium Speedpanel, which is manufactured in the UK.
Dave Saville, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction North West, commented: "The success of this development has been made possible through a collaborative and long-standing relationship with The Guinness Partnership, and we are pleased to celebrate this milestone with them. Working with like-minded developers is an important part of our business. The Guinness Partnership’s ambition to improve the lives of local people, paired with Caddick’s legacy for delivering high-quality schemes, has been key to both Edward Street and Kiwi Street in Salford, both of which are bringing much-needed homes to the region."
