North Midland Construction lands £30m worth of contracts
The building division of Nottinghamshire based North Midland Construction (NM Group) has been awarded a series of contracts across the Midlands and into South Yorkshire which have a combined value of approaching £30m.
The first of these is a £24m contract by a fund advised by BlackRock and will be developed by Victoria Hall Management, a provider of student accommodation. It will be to build a major new student accommodation development in the centre of Sheffield.
The seven storey development will provide accommodation for 535 students in apartments arranged in four and five bedroom clusters. All the bedrooms are ensuite, with each cluster having its own communal living room and kitchen area.
The second contract is a £4m student accommodation scheme on the former car park of The Goose pub in Selly Oak, Birmingham, again for Victoria Hall Management.
The new set of university halls will be made up of four individual blocks, containing flats with five to six single bedrooms. It will house 63 beds in total.
The division has also secured a £1.2m scheme to build 12 new affordable family homes – a mix of two and three bed houses – at Stanton Hill in the heart of Mansfield for the emh group.
The final project is a £540,000 new office development for James Coles & Sons (Nurseries) at its head office in Thurnby, Leicester.
“We are delighted to have been awarded these contracts, three of which are schemes for existing clients and one of which is for a new client,” said Nick Banks, operations director of the building division of NM Group.
“We always like to strengthen the relationships with clients that we already work with but it is also great to secure new clients too.
“This grand total amount just shows how much we’re continuing to grow as a business and the amount of exciting developments we have coming up over the next year.”
