Developer Far East Consortium (FEC) has appointed CR Construction to deliver the next phase of 895 homes on its £4bn Victoria North regeneration project.

CR Construction is currently working on FEC’s neighbouring 634-home Victoria Riverside development which is due to complete in early 2025.

The contractor will now deliver the next phase of Red Bank Riverside on plots NT02 & NT03 on Dantzic Street, which will include a collection of three towers reaching 20, 31 and 34 storeys-high, and another mid-rise, nine-storey block set within extensive public realm.

The scheme was designed by Hawkins\Brown Architects and Schulze+Grassov in collaboration with Optimised Environments landscape architects.

Main construction is due to start on site early next year, following the completion of the enabling works by Manchester City Council and its appointed contractor BAM.

Nick Whitehouse, Delivery Director at FEC, said: “The execution of this contract to deliver the next phase of Red Bank Riverside is another significant milestone for one of the country’s largest regeneration projects. We’re pleased to engage the market leading skills of CR Construction on this exciting project.”

Calum Kidd, CR Construction Managing Director said: “We are delighted to expand upon our existing working relationship with FEC in the UK. Securing this project is another significant milestone for us as we further establish our business and presence in the UK market as we continue to deliver on our promise to be one of the best, providing added value to our clients, partners and stakeholders.”
