The first phase of the development located on Seaford Road in Salford, known as ‘Albion Place’ has now been completed and signed over to Sigma – one of the leading providers in the build-to-rent market.
Kellen Homes is developing 96, one and two bedroomed apartments and 72, two and three bedroomed homes on the site for Sigma who will provide the homes under their private rental brand, Simple Life, which has over 6,000 properties across the UK.
Kellen Homes’ Project Manager Liam Ruddock handed over the keys to 19 completed houses to Sigma’s Lee Catterall in preparation for the first Simple Life residents who are due to move in within days.
Liam said: “It’s an absolute pleasure to be able to hand over the keys to Sigma to allow the first new residents to move in to this superbly located development. We are very proud of the houses that we have built here but they only become homes when people move in and make them their own, and it is great to see that underway.
“Albion Place is part of a successful and ongoing partnership with Sigma and this development will provide much-needed homes for local people in a popular location with access to great amenities. We will continue with the build and look forward to delivering more homes in the very near future.”
And Lee added: “We’re delighted to be taking handover of our first homes at Albion Place, with what is set to be another fantastic neighbourhood with Kellen Homes. We’re looking forward to offering local renters a high-quality, brand-new home, teamed with a professional management approach to renting. Within easy reach of Manchester and Salford centres, renters can get from the best of the city whilst benefitting from car parking, private gardens and pets welcomed at no extra cost. Albion Place is already proving very popular with over 190 renters already registered interest in the development.”
