Caddick Construction Completes 58 New Apartments At Port Loop

Construction News Image
Caddick Construction has officially completed its first Midlands project with the handover of Mansion House, a six-storey residential development comprising 58 new apartments, to joint venture partners Urban Splash and Places for People.

Located on the 43-acre Port Loop island alongside Birmingham Canal, the development is a key part of a major regeneration scheme in the city. Mansion House represents the culmination of Caddick's initial work in the region following the company’s expansion into the Midlands in 2023.

The handover also concludes a specialist façade package delivered by CCL Facades, a sister company to Caddick. This marks CCL's first contract in the Midlands, which included the design and installation of a bespoke aluminium curtain walling system with terracotta finishes, as well as windows and roof lights.

Caddick's involvement in the Port Loop project extended beyond construction, with efforts made to benefit the local community. The company employed three apprentices on-site and hosted careers presentations for construction students at James Watts College. Community outreach also included a £1,000 donation to the Birmingham Care Group Food Pantry to support its 'Kids Eat Free' campaign, and volunteer work at the Birmingham Settlement Nature and Wellbeing Centre.

To further support the regional economy, Caddick engaged a local supply chain, with £5.2 million of subcontractor and supplier packages sourced within a 30-mile radius of the development.

Since establishing its Midlands base at Northspring on Temple Street, Caddick has grown significantly — expanding from a 10-person launch team to more than 60 employees, including apprentices and trainees. The company has also built a strong regional portfolio, with a current order book of £250 million and £90 million in secured contracts across residential, industrial, manufacturing, and commercial sectors.

Ray O'Sullivan, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction Midlands, said: "The completion and handover of Port Loop is a real milestone for Caddick, not least because it is a significant regeneration development for Birmingham. To have this as our first project is a mark of the reputation Caddick brought to the region when we launched in 2023. We have also worked alongside our colleagues at CCL Facades at Port Loop, which has created valuable collaboration and ensured we deliver exceptional standards at one of Birmingham’s most exciting new neighbourhoods."
