John Southworth and One Manchester worked collaboratively on this new and exciting scheme, delivering twenty Timber Frame, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom properties and four light gauge steel frame 2 bed apartments in Openshaw.  The development, consisting of a mixed tenure of 50/50 shared ownership, social and affordable rent properties, benefits from off-road parking and energy-saving features including Air Source Heat Pumps and EV Charging Points.

Transforming a former Brownfield infill site (once home to residential properties, but demolished in the 90’s), Brigham Street forms part of the Project 500 scheme led by Manchester City Council.  The scheme aims to transform derelict sites into new, vibrant communities, bringing much-needed, quality family homes to the Manchester area.

Located in Openshaw, just over three miles from Manchester, the development provides easy access to the motorway network and public transport.  Far enough to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, but close enough for a comfortable commute, the area also benefits from local schools and various shops.

Also conveniently located nearby is Openshaw Park, a green community space, boasting a football pitch, multi-use sports area, tennis courts, play area and teen shelter, amongst other facilities, making it a great place for families to live.

Social Value outcomes delivered:

  • Supported work placements in local area
  • Cleared disused and derelict land paving the way for a community allotment.
