Developer Langtree has agreed a funding deal for the next phase of its Hollinwood Junction project in Oldham and signed a \u00a325m construction contract to kick-off building work.<\/p>\n
Industrial investor Indurent will fund the scheme which is being delivered in partnership with Oldham Council.<\/p>\n
Manchester-based main contractor Russell WBHO has been signed-up to start this month at the site which will\u00a0deliver 13 high quality industrial units providing a total of 192,000 sq ft of distribution and manufacturing space.<\/p>\n
Work on the first phase is expected to last until\u00a0July 2026.<\/p>\n
Josh Downes, executive director – development at Langtree said:\u00a0\u201cThis is a high-quality scheme and we\u2019re pleased to partner with Indurent and Russell WBHO to secure its delivery and provide a timely boost to Oldham\u2019s continued economic growth.<\/p>\n
“It is great to return such a blighted brownfield site to productive use and finally be able to share the completion timeline with the market.\u00a0 It\u2019s a prime site and we expect demand for the units to be high.\u201d<\/p>\n
The site is adjacent to Junction 22 of the M60 Motorway, southwest of Oldham town centre, and is a key plank in the local council\u2019s ambitions to attract new employers to the area.<\/p>\n
Chris Harper pre-construction director at Russell WBHO said: \u201cThis contract builds on our extensive industrial portfolio and our experience in delivering high-quality industrial developments with strong sustainability credentials.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be implementing materials, construction methods, and operational systems to achieve a BREEAM excellent rating.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe development will deliver meaningful change for Oldham, and we\u2019re pleased to support that by using a local supply chain to help deliver the project.\u00a0 We\u2019re mobilising our team now, so the benefits of this commitment start flowing immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
The properties will be accessed by the recently constructed highway roundabout on Albert Street which services the successful Costa drive-through developed by Langtree in an earlier phase, as well as the new Lidl store which is currently under construction.<\/p>\n
