Strengthening Rochdale communities and enhancing the environment

Following the completion of phase one of Rochdale Riverside, a new retail and leisure development in the town centre, the company is now moving forward with phase two, which, alongside the Neighbourhood Rochdale development that Willmott Dixon is also involved with, are key parts of Rochdale town centre’s £400m regeneration programme.

Both projects will provide a £100m inward investment boost for Rochdale that will create jobs, attract people to work and live, plus sustain economic growth and prosperity for many years to come.

Work in Rochdale on the £60m scheme, known and as Upperbanks, will start next month

Rochdale Riverside phase two

Working with the council in partnership with Genr8 Developments, Willmott Dixon has a £2.7m enabling package to ready the site for construction work to start next spring to create 220 apartments, for affordable rent, as well as a hotel on land currently used as car parking off Baillie Street and John Street.

Neighbourhood Rochdale

Working as build partnerships with social impact developer CAPITAL&CENTRIC, Willmott Dixon will redevelop the former Central Retail Park, a brownfield plot less than a mile from the Rochdale Riverside site, into a thriving community that will include 200 spacious and low carbon homes as well as a linear park and community hub.

Willmott Dixon’s new role on these schemes also follows its commitment announced last week that all its operations, plus its new build and refurbishment projects delivered from 2030 will be net-zero carbon.

Anthony Dillon, Willmott Dixon, managing director for Willmott Dixon in the North, said: “We are proud to be appointed to these exciting projects, which continue our part in reinvigorating Rochdale.

“Both developments will be a blueprint for vital town centre regeneration across the UK; attracting inward investment into this community.”

“Our purpose is to deliver brilliant buildings, transform lives, strengthen communities and enhance the environment so our town and cities are fit for future generations. Developments like Rochdale Riverside have already put the town on the map as a great place to live and work in.

“Phase two and Neighbourhood will continue to blaze that trail for developments which leave a lasting positive legacy and stimulate the local economy.”
