The nine-storey residential development will be a mix of 273 one and two bed apartments plus penthouse suites, a landscaped courtyard, gym and communal rooftop area.

The scheme, for the joint venture partnership between Salboy and Factory Estates, is located on ‘Corridor Manchester’ and is just a couple of minutes’ walk from the University’s campus buildings within the learning quarter.

The M&E work package at Burlington Square includes full heating and electrics, fire and security, lighting, ventilation, LV distribution, sub-main cabling, building management systems and electric car charging points.

It is the latest deal in an ongoing relationship with main contractor Domis Construction.

Dr Daniel Strosnider, strategy & sustainability director at Aberla said: “Our successful ongoing relationship with Domis Construction, Salboy and Factory Estates, has proven another significant scheme for our portfolio.

“It’s great to be working together again on the next large-scale project in central Manchester.

“Securing repeat work such as Burlington Square, is another step closer to positioning ourselves as the ‘go-to’ building services contractor in the North West”.

Lee McCarren, managing director at Domis Construction said: “This high-end development required a trusted partner to carry out the large M&E work package to ensure we hit both programme and budget.

“Our relationship with Aberla has enabled really positive and open communication from the outset and we’re pleased to have them onboard”.

Main construction works started on site in January and are due for completion in February 2020.
