By GlobalData“We have a quality supply chain in The Midlands that is fully committed to supporting Sisk on delivering these projects and we look forward to maintaining our dedication to job creation at our training hub which is of great benefit to the local community.”
Moda Living managing director Tony Brooks said: “Sisk, WMCA and Moda are proud to be helping people get back into quality employment as we deliver many new homes into the city centre. The positive human stories that have come from The Mercian have been incredibly inspiring. I’m looking forward to starting work on our Great Charles street neighbourhood later this year with the same team that worked on The Mercian, bringing another 722 high-quality homes for rent to Snow Hill and the Jewellery quarter. We hope to create even more employment opportunities for local people.”
With this project, the total number of homes being delivered by Sisk for Moda in Birmingham city centre will be more than 1,200.
Sisk is also serving as the main contractor for Moda Living and Apache’s first development in Birmingham, called The Mercian.
Once built, The Mercian will be the city’s tallest residential tower.
This 42-storey building will feature 481 apartments for rent only and communal facilities, including a 200m running track, for residents.
