Property entrepreneur Kevin McCabe given green light for mixed-use scheme
ENTREPRENEUR Kevin McCabe’s Scarborough Group International has been given the green light to develop 2,000 Manchester homes in a £575m development.
Middlewood Locks is a residential development located at the western gateway to Manchester’s Central Business District.
The firm has received planning permission from Salford City Council to deliver the homes and up to 750,000 sq ft of mixed-use development space.
Scarborough Group International was founded in 1980 by Sheffield businessman Kevin McCabe and now operates worldwide.
Middlewood Locks, which has a gross development value exceeding £575m, is being developed by FairBriar International, a joint venture between Scarborough, Top Spring International Holdings, a Hong Kong-listed real estate developer in the People’s Republic of China, and Metro Holdings, a Singapore-listed property development and investment group.
Zerum represented Scarborough as planning consultants and will continue to support Scarborough with other upcoming planning submissions.
Simon McCabe, director of Scarborough, said: “We are pleased to have received this planning consent for Middlewood Locks, which is a real vote of support for our plans to create a new mixed-use community in one of the UK’s most vibrant, cosmopolitan and progressive cities.
“Middlewood Locks is ideally located, just a short work from the central business district and retail amenities, so we are confident that this project will be a huge success and create a fantastic community environment for its future residents.”
