Apartment site is visited by MP
CHEADLE MP Mary Robinson visited the ongoing works to transform the old Sim Chem House into a 184-apartment development.
The build, called Fabrick, is aimed at first time buyers and helping people onto the housing ladder.
It is being carried out by Inspired Homes, began earlier this year and is due to complete in December.
Ms Robinson was shown around the previously derelict site by construction director Adam Tokarski and development manager Tom French.
She said: “Fabrick looks set to add something to Cheadle Hulme’s already great sense of community.
“It’s a great example of brownfield development and creating local jobs and I’m delighted that, along with Help to Buy, it’s going to help people onto the housing ladder.
“It was good to see the work coming along to revitalise what had become such an eyesore and I can’t wait to see the finished product.”
Martin Skinner, CEO of Inspired Homes, said: “We were delighted to unveil our new one-bedroom show apartment last month, with our second (two-bedroom) show apartment at the end of April.
“With Fabrick expected to complete in December 2018, we are approaching the halfway point in a process to transform a once tired-looking, disused and often vandalised office building into an attractive new residential development, priced with first-time buyers in mind and benefiting from the government’s Help to Buy scheme.”
