Manchester Pioneers Back in 1993, when the cities were empty, shut up at night and “urban” was a dirty word, we took a leap of faith. We saw something that other people hadn't in old industrial buildings; we thought they were amazing and beautiful, and we thought people should live in them. From Britannia Mills in Castlefield, to Smithfield Building in the Northern Quarter and Concert Square in Liverpool; we have pioneered city living in the north of England, reinventing old buildings and creating amazing new homes, workspaces and communities. 25 years and nearly 400 awards later we're back doing what we do best with Avro, one of Manchester's last untouched Victorian Mills - and we're working with our old friend, Roger Stephenson, fellow pioneer and architectural legend who helped us transform Smithfield Building all those years ago. Avro was built in 1825 and was once home to the A.V. Roe aviation company: the founders of British aviation and manufacturers of the iconic Lancaster and Vulcan planes. We'll celebrate this in the Urban Splash way; reclaiming history not sterilising it, making the best of the past and giving Avro a future. These are homes for pioneers, for people who love this city like I do. Avro could only be in Manchester, the greatest industrial city in the world. Well, perhaps it’s just the greatest city in the world now...

  • Sustainable Communities Policy Review – Manchester/Salford
    SDC Sustainable Communities Review Manchester Visit Sustainable Communities Policy Review – Manchester/Salford [Evidence collated from an SDC visit, Audit Commission Manchester Salford Pathfinder reports (2003 & 2006) and materials provided by Urban Splash.] Headlines • The Pathfinder proposes a net increase of 22,500 homes in its area over the next 13 years • There is significant coordination between funding streams to support delivery • Key challenges include addressing the wider causes of housing market failure (including the attractiveness of local environments, crime levels and the quality of local public services like schools) and encouraging owner occupation, especially given low wages, recent rises in house price levels, and the continuation of buy to let and speculation on the capital values of new homes Context The Manchester Salford Pathfinder sits at the core of the Greater Manchester conurbation as the regional centre of the North West, encompassing areas surrounding the city centre. 40% of all homes within the Manchester and Salford local authority areas fall within the Pathfinder. The Pathfinder area has been divided into four Area Development Frameworks (ADFs) – Central Salford, East Manchester, North Manchester and South Manchester. The intervention area covers 19 of Manchester’s 33 wards and 8 of Salford’s 20 wards. The structure of the Pathfinder’s housing stock is distinctive – only 36% of residents own their own homes compared with the national average of around 69%. The Pathfinder area has an oversupply of older, smaller terraced housing and flats that have declined in value leaving owners in negative equity. Just over half of residents who rent their homes do so from the two local authorities, but private landlords and housing associations also provide very large numbers of homes for rent.

The business has won over 440 awards for architecture, regeneration, design Bloxham MBE and business success. Chairman It was in 1993, aged 29, that Tom founded Urban Splash with Jonathan Falkingham MBE; together literally two men in a shed they redeveloped an unloved building in Liverpool into the successful Concert Square mixed-use scheme. Since then, Urban Splash has undertaken more than 60 developments, creating thousands of new homes and jobs and investing nearly a billion pounds into successful regeneration projects across the country including; Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, Bristol, Plymouth, Cambridgeshire and Morecambe. In 2016, Tom and Jonathan launched House by Urban Splash – a modern housebuilder committed to creating homes using modern methods of construction (MMC). In 2018, the company acquired a factory from SIG PLC, vertically integrating the manufacture of its homes, and in 2019, House by Urban Splash completed on one of the sector’s biggest ever deals, a £90m transaction which saw Japan’s biggest housebuilder – Sekisui House – and Homes England become shareholders in the business. The company has created – and sold – hundreds of its customisable Town House homes in Manchester, Birmingham, North Shields and Salford, and since 2019’s landmark deal, has been appointed on large-scale neighbourhoods in which it will create its homes; Wirral Waters in Merseyside, Inholm Northstowe in Cambridgeshire and a site with the National Trust in Cumbria.

Saxton is special because it's re-made. We’ve made use of a building that people had fallen out of love with and made it better, made it something to love, somewhere to call home. Saxton is special because its architecture is special, and it’s been made to look good again, good for a new generation to fill it with life. And Saxton is extra special because Saxton is somewhere you can grow your own. Apartments close enough to the action to be metropolitan when you want to be out and about and far enough away when you want to lead the good life, like Tom and Barbara. You see Saxton has a big secret - you can rent one of the 97 allotments set in six and a half acres of orchard and meadow, so within half an hour you can have been into town, bought a little black dress and then be back at home pulling up your home-grown rhubarb, or your beets, or your carrots - how special is that? Space to grow Putting down roots has never been easier, both physically and figuratively.
