Construction has begun of the “Hat Box”, a residential development in New Islington.
The £30 million scheme, a joint venture between Scarborough Holdings, Top Spring International Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong-listed real estate developer in the People’s Republic of China, and Metro Holdings Limited, a Singapore-listed property development and investment group, is the second phase of the development of Milliners Wharf.
On completion, it will provide 144, one, two, duplex and three-bedroom apartments across two contemporary new buildings adjacent to Milliners Wharf.
Completion of the first apartments is anticipated to be early in 2016 when the first residents will take up occupancy of their new homes.
The apartments will be light, airy, spacious, completed to a high specification and most will have a balcony or private terrace. The “Hat Box” will have excellent facilities, including a sky garden, secure parking and bicycle stores, and is ideally located close to the Metrolink and within walking distance of the centre of Manchester.
