Fit-out firm wins £4.3m PRS contract

Mansfield-based Deanestor, the contract furniture firm, has been awarded a its largest contract to date in the private residential sector.

The £4.3m project for John Sisk & Son is for the manufacture and fit-out of kitchens and furniture for one of the biggest private rental schemes in Manchester which is being developed by Vita Group.

The £247m project forms part of Circle Square, a £750m mixed-use development on the former BBC site in the heart of the city. This scheme will create neighbourhood, delivered over three phases and providing homes, commercial office accommodation, and retail and leisure space.

Deanestor will manufacture and install 683 kitchens and around 2,000 fitted wardrobes for the one-, two- and three- bedroom apartments.

Tristan Herbert, senior development manager at Vita Group, said, “These are high quality apartments to meet the rising demand for city living. Our requirement is for exceptional quality kitchen and bedroom furniture and a robust installation. Design-led aesthetic appeal for the fitted furniture is essential in order to attract tenants and to ensure the apartments look good for years to come.”

William Tonkinson, managing director of Deanestor, said: “The client required a combination of flexibility and quality with bespoke sizes and designs to suit the space and budget. Carefully-planned logistics and project management will ensure such a high number of furniture items will be installed with maximum efficiency until the end of 2020 on this large city centre site.”

Deanestor will also manufacture and install 683 service cupboards in three sizes, and 350 store cupboards.

The contract at Circle Square is Deanestor’s second private residential scheme for Vita Group in Manchester. Deanestor is working with main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine on the Riverside development where it is manufacturing and installing 190 kitchens designed exclusively for rent.
