Added Value:
The two acre site, formally known as the Harrison Drape Building has been undertaken to regenerate this impressive industrial property into 313 residential units. The remainder of the site fronting Cheapside, Lombard and Birchall Streets form part of the new development consisting of multi-storey residential units.

Description

Prior to commencing the construction phase it was necessary to demolish the existing framed building and sub structures to the site perimeter.

As well as the refurbishment of the existing building, a two storey vertical extension has been incorporated as part of the proposed development.
