High five for builder Bardsley
BARDSLEY Construction has been appointed to construct 140 apartments in Salford Quays in a £13.6m scheme.
The one and two-bed 11-storey complex of homes at X1 The Exchange will also include a residents’ gym and a residents’ car park.
It is Bardsley’s fifth key contract with property developer X1 Developments.
Work has already started on site with the scheme due for completion in April 2016.
Procurement director at Cheshire-based Bardsley Ged Rooney said the development would provide homes for private rent for young professionals.
“Our burgeoning partnership with X1 Developments allows us to provide a vibrant mix of new build and redeveloped residential and commercial properties spanning the length of the M62,” he said.
The other projects are a £7.6m scheme at X1 The Edge in Liverpool to construct a student accommodation block providing 231 student beds centred around 38 cluster kitchen and communal rooms, with residents’ gym and support facilities; a £6.7m scheme to redevelop the Grade Two listed X1 Manchester Town Hall and Magistrates Court building as 125 one and two-bed apartments with roof top extension for further living space, a residents’ gym and retail space and a Manchester office for Liverpool-based X1 Developments; a £4.7m 160-bed student accommodation block at X1 Arndale House, Liverpool; and a £3.45m scheme to construct a five-storey, 109-bed student development at X1 Chapel Street, Salford.
