Contractor Forrest has won a £9 million contract to complete a social housing refurbishment project in Manchester.
The project is being carried at City West Housing Trust's Charter building in Eccles.
Charter is the largest high rise residential block in Eccles.
It is the seventh that Forrest has delivered as part of City West's £54.3m investment to improve 12 high rises in West Salford.
The project includes internal and external refurbishment work at the 20-storey development including wall insulation, window and door replacements, internal remodelling, new heating and upgrades to kitchens and bathrooms.
The project is due to be complete in autumn 2016.
Lee McCarren, CEO at Forrest, said: "The refurbishment will give this significant asset a new lease of life and make a dramatic impact to resident's lives – through improvements to their own living spaces, communal areas and the overall energy efficiency of the building."
