£4m contract awarded on Southside development
Mechanical and electrical services specialist J S Wright has been awarded a £4m contract to fit out a 379-apartment scheme in Birmingham’s Southside.
It will work on Galliard Apsley’s Timber Yard scheme for two years, starting in October.
Phil Leech, managing director of J S Wright, said: “We are delighted to have been appointed to help deliver the first Birmingham development project for a longstanding London-based client, and to be at the heart of meeting demand for high-quality accommodation in the city of our roots.”
The development, which is the first large-scale residential development for private sale in Birmingham’s Southside for a decade, broke ground in January and is scheduled for completion at the end of 2021.
The mixed-use scheme on Pershore Street will consist of two residential buildings of up to 14 storeys containing a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, along with 10,000 sq ft of ground-floor commercial space.
J S Wright will equip all the apartments at the development with direct electric hot water cylinders to provide residents with thermostatically controlled and pressurised hot and cold water.
