It is being constructed next to the new Rochdale Riverside retail and leisure development that opened last year.
The regeneration project is a Rochdale Borough Council scheme which is being delivered by Rochdale Development Agency.
The scheme has already secured more than £20m of external funding, attracting more than £3m from the Greater Manchester’s Combined Authority’s Brownfield Development Fund and over £17m from the government’s Future High Streets Fund.
Work on Upperbanks is scheduled to commence start next month and is expected to be completed in early 2024.
