Work progressing on Rivers Edge housing scheme in Warrington

Many of these homes for the Rivers Edge housing scheme are near complete or appear to be finished on the outside, while construction is under way on others.

Work on the huge scheme commenced in December and an official launch was held on brownfield land along the Mersey.

The homes are located on the former Spectra Packaging site next to Centre Park.

And hundreds are being built on either side of the new Centre Park Link road off Chester Road.

Of the 500-plus home development, 258 will be for open sale, 150 will be for rent managed by Sigma Capital, and 105 will be affordable homes managed by Torus.

The site will comprise 413 two, three and four-bedroom houses and 100 apartments.

All of the homes will be closed panel properties, built off-site in Countryside’s modular factory on Europa Boulevard in Gemini, which significantly reduces construction waste and embodied carbon.

Jason Berry, regional managing director of Sigma Capital Group, added: “After 15 years of collaborating with Countryside, we are thrilled to be working on this new mixed-tenure site to deliver a range of homes to Warrington.

“With a strong background in urban regeneration, we have a lasting commitment to make a real difference within the UK by bringing well-managed and high-quality homes to individuals and families within local communities.

“By providing the opportunity for a good lifestyle for our residents, as well as benefiting the wider neighbourhood, our homes are all pet-friendly and built within close range to schools, shopping centres and good travel routes.

“We have witnessed a growing demand for quality rental homes in the north west region, so we look forward to launching our Rivers Edge houses and apartments later this year.”
