AI Article Summary
Bentry Capital has acquired the Irwell Gardens site in Salford for £12m, with plans for a 200-home waterfront neighbourhood. Via its Mellior Group construction arm, work on the first phase of 50 townhouses is expected to begin early next year as part of the £80m project.

What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how large-scale residential developments can be staged to effectively manage costs and timelines, lessons valuable for Canadian builders facing similar market dynamics. For Canadian builders, this means considering phasing strategies in order to mitigate financial risks and ensure quality in residential projects. It also highlights the strategic selection of sites on brownfield land, which can offer cost savings and alignment with sustainability goals.
