HG Construction lands £225m Manchester resi contract
Summary
HG Construction has been appointed to deliver the £225m Red Bank Riverside phase of FEC’s Victoria North scheme in Manchester. The contract covers four buildings and 900 homes, including a 34-storey build-to-rent tower, with some elements due to start soon and the tallest building awaiting Gateway 2 sign-off.
Why it matters
The project is a major residential development in Manchester and includes a high-rise element subject to Gateway 2, which is directly relevant to surveyors working on building safety and large-scale residential schemes. It also signals continued delivery activity in the city’s build-to-rent and wider housing pipeline.
