Construction News Image
Development works at Murrays' Mill in Ancoats, Manchester, has started.

Manchester Life Development Company and Graham Construction have teamed up to transform the site into 124 one-, two- and three-bedroom homes for sale.

The guiding principle for the development has been to preserve many of the Mills' 19th century features and create a unique living experience. The historic canal basin will form the centre of a landscaped courtyard, with every apartment individually designed to make the most of the building's features, along with interior layouts, finishes and on-site facilities to create attractive homes in the heart of Ancoats.

Gary Hughes, Regional Director at Graham Construction, said: "As a leader in heritage and restoration projects, we understand the need for balance between creating modern, aspirational homes and keeping the character and history of the building alive. Manchester Life is a tremendous vision and GRAHAM Construction is proud to be involved in such a progressive and unique project."
