Construction and development specialist Southdale has begun work on £11.5m of new projects to develop more than 110 new homes across the North West.

The business, which has previously worked with Kirklees Council on refurbishing hundreds of homes in Huddersfield, has doubled the size of its Warrington office to accommodate growth in the business and will recruit local people and offer training and education opportunities around each of four new sites.

The projects involve creating 20 homes in Crewe, 33 in Salford, 15 in Stockport and 46 in Bury, where Southdale will also create day care facilities.

For Great Places Housing Group, the homes in Salford and Bury are part of the Build Learn Grow project, a partnership which will see the creation of 300 properties and more than 20 apprenticeships across the North West.

In Bury, Southdale will build 32 bungalows, 14 apartments and the day care facilities in a £4.73m project, which is due to complete in late 2014. The Salford scheme is a £3.47m project due to complete in summer, 2014.

Peaks & Plains Housing Trust has appointed Southdale to build seven houses and eight flats in Stockport in a £1.66m development due for completion in autumn, 2014.

In Crewe, Southdale is building 20 apartments for Wulvern Housing Limited. The £1.63m is scheduled for completion next August.

Halifax-based Southdale employs more than 40 people across the North West.
