SHIPLEY SUSTAINABLE HOUSING SCHEME PICKS UP HIGHEST 5* RATING IN UK PROPERTY AWARDS Swanside Shipley and Martin’s Mill Halifax residential developments awarded 5* rating in their categories

A sustainable housing scheme in Shipley developed by Mandale Homes has achieved the highest 5* rating in the UK Property Awards ‘Best Residential’ category.  The developer’s regeneration residential development in Halifax also picked up the coveted, highest 5* rating in the ‘Best Residential/Renovation/Redevelopment’ category and has also been nominated for the Best in UK in that class.

At the recent London ceremony, Stockton based developer Mandale Homes was given the prestigious top 5* award for its sustainable housing development in Swanside in Shipley in the ‘Best Residential’ class.  Swanside, located next to the Leeds/Liverpool Canal, is the developer’s fastest selling site to date and boasts 76 2 and 3 bed mews and semi-detached homes in Shipley, with one house type giving buyers a chance to effectively design their own home, choosing between 3 or 4 beds. 

Martin’s Mill, the £7M regeneration scheme in Halifax, West Yorkshire also beat off competition to make the final two and is now in the running for the coveted Best UK Residential/Renovation/Redevelopment award.   Mandale Homes now goes head to head with Skyhall Group for the crown and will find out if it has been successful at a London ceremony at the Savoy Hotel on 2 December.

Martin’s Mill in Halifax is a former historic 19th Century six storey mill which has been sympathetically converted into 60 modern apartments for town centre living. The scheme overlooks Halifax town centre and the Shibden Valley countryside and was developed in close collaboration with the regeneration team at Calderdale Council to bring this important building back into use and further build on the town’s ongoing renaissance.

The UK Property Awards were judged by an independent panel of 80 industry experts and focussed on design, quality, service, innovation, originality and commitment to sustainability.  In their 26th year, the awards are the largest, most prestigious and widely recognised programme throughout the region.

Richard Harriman, Operations Director, Mandale Homes commented:

“We are absolutely delighted to be honoured with these coveted top rating 5* UK Property Awards for our West Yorkshire developments.  As a growing North East developer competing against some big London based industry peers, we are very proud to also make the final two for the Best UK Residential Development title for our Martin’s Mill regeneration housing scheme in Halifax.”
