S&K Buildings, a vastly underutilised site, is to be reanimated and remodelled with an attractive build to rent community containing 484 new homes.

EDR Demolition are now onsite demolishing the majority of the site (plan below), deemed in very poor state of disrepair, with the exception of the S&K building fronting Bradford Street.

Once cleared, six new builds of up to 10 storeys will be erected, each one set around internal courtyards, with the transformative scheme also bringing the River Rea into the mix with a fluid publicly accessible canal-side walkway, with terraces, cafes and restaurants.

The visually aesthetic S&K building is to be retained, converted and upwardly extended with a new two-storey extension.

The site will ultimately offer an attractive selection of one-, two- & three-bedroom apartments (c48 affordable), and spacious duplexes to cater to every lifestyle.

Yellow denotes retained, with demolition in red.
