McGoff & Byrne To Enter Into The Private Rented Sector

Construction firm McGoff & Byrne has announced it is to enter into the private rented sector (PRS) following its multi-million pound project in the North West.

McGoff & Byrne's residential development arm of the business, Villafont Homes, has recently submitted for planning permission for a PRS scheme on Woden Street in Salford, with the ambition of leveraging the Group's wider development, construction, asset management and operational expertise to create a brand to be known as Downtown by Villafont.

The regeneration project will provide a total mix of 383 apartments, ranging from one, two and three bedrooms. The philosophy of the scheme is to provide rented accommodation built around the highest possible levels of service and energy efficiency, resulting in lower running costs for occupants.

There will be 24 hour concierge as well as dry and cold storage rooms, enabling supermarket deliveries around the clock. The onsite business centre, media room, spa and gymnasium will also provide enhanced facilities for residents.

Construction at Downtown by Villafont is due to commence in 2015.
