Artez latest contractor to collapse

The developer, along with Great Places Housing Group, has purchased the Maple Mill site to begin work on its £14m project.

Listed developer One Heritage has appointed Midgard to construct what would be the city’s tallest tower after failing to agree a way forward with Laing O’Rourke.

Work is underway on the scheme now that Rochdale has formalised its appointment of Willmott Dixon as main contractor.

The £25m redevelopment of the Sale Magistrates’ Court site and a £30m Carrington highway scheme have inched forward following approvals at the executive level.

Construction has begun on Lytham St Annes High School, Littleborough Community Primary School and Nursery, and Whitworth Community High School – all part of the Department for Education’s Schools Rebuilding Programme.

The contractor is to build a total 116 affordable homes across two projects in Salford and Bury. 

Glenbrook is developing the 17-storey High Definition for Latimer, the development arm of Clarion Housing Group. 

The pandemic pushed the Bolton-based company’s construction arm into the red for the 12 months ended 31 December 2020 but the firm’s housing division increased turnover by more than 50% year-on-year, brightening the overall picture.
