TERRY’S CHOCOLATE WORKS

Work is progressing well on the former Terry’s Chocolate site in York

Work is progressing well on the former Terry’s Chocolate site in York where we are converting the iconic Grade II listed Factory Building into what will be truly wonderful apartments.

Such is the scale of the project that we decided to record the vast number of people working on site with a special photo shoot.

We were blessed with a glorious day and despite its coat of scaffolding the building – all 192,000sq ft of it – looked magnificent.

Everyone gathered outside from the chairman and founder Peter Livesey, daughter Georgina and the rest of the board to architects, project managers, designers, bricklayers, stone masons, electricians, joiners and the sales team.

ICONIC BUILDING

We are all very excited by this project. It’s an iconic building in a perfect location right next to York Racecourse and was built by Noel and Frank Terry in 1926, from one of the UK’s great family companies.

We aim to show the same ambition and care as they did as we convert the building into spectacular new homes that we think will be unrivaled in the area.

We are aiming to launch the first properties in Spring 2016.

Name for New Development at MMU in Didsbury Announced

NAME FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT

The former MMU campus in Didsbury renamed

We are delighted to announce that our redevelopment of the former MMU campus in Didsbury will be called St. James Park.

The name reflects the area’s first recorded building, a small chapel that is noted in records back in 1236, and later became St James Church.

Didsbury grew up around the church and village green, alongside the smithy and the two pubs and in fact the ‘Didsbury St James Conservation Area’ has the greatest concentration of listed buildings in Manchester, outside the city centre.

Discussions with passionate and enthusiastic local historians confirmed that St James Park is an appropriate name for a development that will form a new heart for the village.The handsome facade of the Administration Building will be used for the distinctive logo.

WHARFEDALE PLACE WINS AN AWARD

A stunning transformation in Otley

We are delighted to announce that at the recent Bricks Awards, Wharfedale Park, our redevelopment of the former Wharfedale Hospital site in Otley has been named the Best Conversion / Refurbishment in the country.

The Bricks Awards are the ‘Oscars’ of the construction industry – recognising and rewarding the exceptional work of registered developers and contractors who go the extra mile, regardless of size, to deliver quality in construction and design.

STUNNING TRANSFORMATION
They reflect the PJ Livesey approach to high quality development and site manager Carl Tucker is understandably delighted.

He said: “I have been at Wharfedale since day one so I know what state the buildings were in when we took them on and the work that has gone into bringing them back into use. The transformation is stunning and I am very proud of what the team has achieved here.

“A lot of the skilled trades such as the stone masons resided in Otley during their contract and said it was lovely to hear local people praising the development and the quality of the work.”

REWARD EXCEPTIONAL WORK
The Bricks are run by LABC Warranty which works in partnership with Local Authority Building Control to monitor standards and reward exceptional work on residential building sites across the country. More than 3,000 sites were eligible to enter with 30 making the final Awards ceremony held at One Embankment, London.

Carl said: “It was an honour just to be in the room so to be named the ‘Best Conversion in the country’ is a massive achievement. Wharfedale Park certainly deserves it, it is a beautiful development.”

Mike Swatton, LABC Warranty Business Development Director and Head Judge commented, “The standard of the nominees across the board has been unprecedented, once again raising the bar for next year.”

After also being named ‘LABC Warranty regional site manager of the year’ for West Yorkshire, Carl will be heading to London again next month for the final hoping to again take the national crown.

HIGH INTEREST IN NEWLY BUILT HOMES

The Residence is setting new standards in Lancaster, and the location is truly unique

A collection of individually designed newly built family homes at The Residence are setting new standards in Lancaster, and the location they enjoy is truly unique and stunning.

Positioned at the top of the site with their own separate access road they enjoy a view of the magnificent restored hospital building from the front aspect, while the west facing gardens enjoy afternoon sun with an outlook over pretty unspoilt meadows.

9 REMAINING PROPERTIES
There are only 9 of the collection 24 properties still available, arranged in pairs, all with three bedrooms and garages but offering different ground floor lay outs to suit different lifestyles.

We think they offer buyers the best of all worlds – light, spacious, modern living of the highest standard all set within a prominent iconic heritage site.
