A major development at one of Oldham’s key regeneration sites is on track for completion next month.
Specialist logistics developers Rula Developments are constructing a 367,000 sq ft HQ-style logistics unit with dedicated office space and employee facilities at Broadway Green.
It is the largest employment plot on the Chadderton regeneration scheme and when complete, could create around 450 jobs.
Oldham Council Leader Amanda Chadderton visited the site to see progress alongside Rula Development’s Managing Director Ben Ward.
She said: “The new unit is very impressive – not only in terms of its size but also the quality design which is maximising natural light and achieving high standards of sustainability.
“We are delighted Rula Developments have made this significant investment in the borough and the Broadway Green scheme. We look forward to welcoming a new occupier to this fantastic development in the near future.”
Ben Ward, added: "This is an exciting project for us, we are really pleased with the progress on site and look forward to handing the project over to our funding partner Aver Properties Ltd in the coming weeks. We understand there is strong demand in the unit from occupational tenants which underpins the strength of the location and quality of the build.
"We have a proven track record of delivering high-quality industrial and commercial space and Broadway Green is no exception. The building will achieve the high sustainability targets we set at the outset by being awards BREEAM ‘excellent’ accreditation and EPC ‘A’ rating. This unit will be a state of the art facility making for a truly modern working environment which is achieved with enhanced daylight measures and quality of materials."
Situated in a prime location, near the M62 and M60 motorways and only two miles from Oldham town centre, Broadway Green is being developed in partnership with Oldham Council, Seddon and Grasscroft Property.
Broadway Green is set to deliver over 600,000 sq ft of employment space, creating up to 2,000 new jobs and up to 500 new homes.
234 new homes have already been built at Broadway Green and Countryside Properties are currently on site delivering the next phase of 160 homes, including affordable homes.
In addition to new homes and employment space, the scheme will also include significant green open space in the form of a new linear park.
