YHG completes £33.1m Manchester scheme

Comprising 216 homes on a range of tenures, Edgefield Green in Openshaw was built on a 10-acre site previously occupied by warehouses.

Your Housing Group delivered the £33.1m scheme with the help of a £9m Homes England grant.

It features homes powered by air source heat pumps and available for Rent to Buy, shared ownership, affordable rent, and social rent.

Lovell Partnerships built the scheme, which was designed by Edward Architecture.

Lorraine Donnelly, executive director of asset and development at Your Housing Group, said: “It’s been great to come back to Edgefield Green and see it completed.

“Speaking to the residents, you get a real sense of the community which is taking shape here and it’s an amazing transformation from what this site was just a few years ago.

Cllr Gavin White, executive member for housing and development at Manchester City Council, said: “We know how important it is to get a wide range and size of homes, and a variety of affordable tenures from social rent to low-cost home ownership that this new housing development has truly delivered.

White was part of a delegation that visited the completed scheme recently.

He added: “It was a great pleasure to meet the new tenants and families who have moved into their new homes and hear how positive they have already found it to be living at Edgefield Green.

“All these new homes are a vital part of our delivery of our housing strategy in Manchester to see 10,000 new social, council and genuinely affordable homes built by 2032.”
