The firm will deliver around 135 much-needed homes for older people in Wythenshawe.

The village project, designed by architect Pozzoni for Wythenshawe Community Housing Group, is split by a road into two sites. Each side will be linked with a pedestrian bridge as part of the construction job.

Eddy Newman, Chair of WCHG, said: “This new facility will also provide job opportunities for local people, both in the construction phase of the development, and when it is up and running.”

The Village will be located on the junction of Brownley Road and Hollyhedge Road and will consist of 66 apartments for affordable rent, 39 apartments for shared ownership and 30 apartments for outright sale.
