We are pleased to have launched our new show homes in Hulme and Openshaw.<br />
We would love you to visit and have the chance to show you around.<br />
Openshaw<br />
The Whitworths are located on Columbine Street<br />

value, from £47,232 (35% share) plus a small rent<br />
on the remaining share.<br />

Hulme<br />
We have now opened the doors on our fantastic show<br />
home on The Aaben in Hulme. This development<br />
is available for market rent and all profits will go into<br />
funding other One Manchester projects, making our<br />
communities better places to live.<br />

Building a better life in Hulme<br />
At The Aaben as well as using the profits to fund other One Manchester projects, we have<br />
also been able to add social value to people and the area during the build programme.<br />
One way that we have done this is through our apprentice<br />
programme. Ben Lord had been working as a kitchen porter,<br />
but had been struggling to get work as a bricklayer,<br />
“It’s not easy to get your foot in the door unless<br />
somebody you know works in the building trade”<br />
However, following a work placement on The Aaben,<br />
Ben has now been employed full-time by a bricklaying<br />
contractor on the site and is looking forward to a long<br />
career in bricklaying.<br />
“The work placement got me on site, so I could show<br />
I had the skills to do the job. It’s totally different having<br />
a career and coming to work with a smile on your face”<br />
Elsewhere, the Cornerstone Day Centre in Hulme has undergone refurbishments to the bathroom<br />
facilities. As part of the partnership agreement with Keepmoat, who are building The Aaben, the contractors<br />
have also agreed to invest their time and efforts into local social projects such as the Cornerstone Day<br />
Centre which is a valuable resource for the homeless.
