DEVELOPMENTS<br />

Bringing homes to the city<br />

Many of our new-build developments are well underway across<br />

the city, so here’s an update of where things are up to.<br />

The Whitworths in Openshaw has now sold out, having helped 34 people to take their<br />

first or next step on to the property ladder using Shared Ownership. We are also well on<br />

our way to selling many of our Shared Ownership homes at Kingfisher Gardens in Gorton.<br />

This option makes owning a property easier and more affordable for first-time buyers.<br />

We will be launching our brand new Levenshulme development, Atlas Place, in the<br />

next few months, which will have Shared Ownership and our first Rent to Buy homes.<br />

Atlas Place<br />

Chapel Street, Levenshulme<br />

Homes for all ages<br />

South Gate in Openshaw will be a mix of Affordable Rent bungalows and<br />

Shared Ownership houses. The bungalows will be for people living with<br />

dementia. Launching in Spring 2019 on South Street near to Openshaw<br />

Park, the emphasis will be on creating quality homes in a safe setting.<br />

Energy-efficient homes<br />

Stoney Gate in Openshaw will provide 21 two and three-bedroom homes<br />

using Passivhaus standards, which make homes more energy-efficient. These<br />

houses will be some of the most environmentally-friendly in the area, saving the<br />

homeowner money on their household bills every month. These homes will be<br />

available as Rent to Buy. They will be suitable for people struggling to save for a<br />

deposit but would like to buy at a later date. They will be launched in spring 2019.<br />

Developing Gorton<br />

We have also recently received planning permission to develop 26 houses<br />

on the Oasis Community Centre site on Hyde Road in Gorton. As part of<br />

this, we will be supporting the build of a new community centre, which<br />

will provide modern facilities for local groups. More information on this<br />

development will be available in future issues of <strong>Inspire</strong> Magazine.<br />

Southworth Builders<br />

Giving back<br />

to the community<br />

Besides building much-needed<br />

housing for our neighbourhoods,<br />

with each development we<br />

support our communities. We<br />

do this with community projects,<br />

or by using local workers and<br />

businesses. For example, whilst<br />

building Kingfisher Gardens,<br />

our construction company John<br />

Southworth Builders, have<br />

provided so much more than just<br />

building homes.<br />
