Working alongside developer TOWN, Willmott Dixon will review and finalise the design for the new development on the former site of the disused Agora Centre and adjacent car park.
The scheme will provide 115 new two- to four-storey homes across six residential blocks, nearly a third of which will be affordable housing and which incorporates a co-housing community for over-50s alongside family homes for rent.
This is the latest in a series of town centre regenerations for Willmott Dixon.
It is also involved in the Spindles development in Oldham town centre, Upperbanks development in Rochdale and Stockport Interchange.
