Manchester-based Progressive Living begins work on 64-home Angel Street scheme

Developer Progressive Living has started work on its North Central development in Manchester.

The scheme, located on Angel Street next to the city’s £800m NOMA district, will create 40 two-bedroom and 24 one-bedroom apartments along with ground-floor retail space and underground parking.

Demolition work on the site’s existing building is now underway, with the construction phase to begin at the end of April.

Progressive Living confirmed that negotiations with contractor Cruden Construction are nearing complete, with a contract set to be awarded soon.

David Fairclough, director at Manchester-based Progressive Living, said: “Our aim is to create attractive residential schemes in sustainable locations integrating creative design and the highest quality materials.

“North Central is on the fringe of the fast developing and popular NOMA district on Angel Street next to the Angel pub and opposite the Moda Living Angel Gardens scheme.”

He continued: “We’re delighted to get started on North Central which promises to result in some fabulous new homes and which, along with Angel Gardens, will complete the frontage to Angel Street, now a major access route through the city.”

North Central is due for completion by October 2018.
