At Didsbury Point, Manchester, we delivered 76 affordable and social rent apartments for Southway Housing Trust alongside a new purpose-built NHS medical centre. Combining sustainable building technologies, high-quality residential accommodation and enhanced healthcare provision, the development creates a lasting investment in both housing and community infrastructure.
Located in the heart of Didsbury, the scheme has been designed to provide high-quality, energy-efficient homes while supporting the growing needs of the local community. The development comprises 76 affordable and social rent apartments, providing a mix of one and two-bedroom homes finished to a high specification throughout. Sustainability was a key consideration throughout the design and construction process, with the project achieving an EPC B energy rating and incorporating solar PV panels and air source heat pump technology to support lower carbon living. A significant feature of the development is the delivery of the new Didsbury Medical Centre at ground floor level. The purpose-built facility provides improved accessibility, enhanced patient facilities and additional clinical space, supporting a patient population of more than 15,000 people. The project demonstrates how residential development can successfully integrate essential community infrastructure, creating long-term benefits beyond the provision of new homes alone. By combining affordable housing with modern healthcare facilities, Didsbury Point makes a meaningful contribution to the local area and its future growth. The successful completion of the scheme reflects the collaborative efforts of Southway Housing Trust, the wider project team and all stakeholders involved throughout the delivery process.
