Having acquired a former industrial site next to the central station, All Saints Living intend to create a 284 apartment PRS development in Warrington town centre.
The £51m scheme would be a six storey complex with the ground floor comprising parking for 256 cars and retail space facing
on to Winwick Street with a small number of residential units facing onto John Street. The upper five floors contain the majority of the residential units facing on to Winwick Street, John Street and internal courtyards and the station square.
All Saints Living is a division of the Newcastle-upon-Tyne headquartered High Street.
Gary Forrest, founder and chairman of The High Street Group, said: “As the build to rent, or private rented sector, continues to grow due to demand for homes outstripping supply, we have taken this opportunity to develop these much needed homes.
“These are all exciting projects which we feel will enhance the towns and cities in which they are developed and I would like to thank all our partners for working so hard to help us make them possible.”
The apartments will be open plan and contemporary in style with 106 having single bedrooms and 178 with two bedrooms.
The foyer will focus on a new station square with a better balance of public and private open space. The square is being developed as part of the wider Warrington regeneration.
