GRAHAM and partners have scooped the Development of the Year award for Miller's Quay, the residential development at Wirral Waters.
GRAHAM, Wirral Council, Pension Insurance Corporation plc (PIC) and the Peel Waters team at Wirral Waters were recognised for the £130 million project at Insider's Liverpool City Region Property Awards 2023.
The judges described the project as 'transformational' and recognised that this development has brought together a long-term investor, an experienced developer and a local authority to kick-start regeneration and deliver a sustainable community.
As the UK's largest regeneration project, Miller's Quay will provide 500 highly sustainable one and two bedroom waterfront apartments.
Miller’s Quay is also delivering significant social value with 100 affordable new homes included and a wide range of unique learning and employment opportunities.
Richard Mawdsley, Director of Development at Wirral Waters, said: "We are delighted to receive this prestigious award for Miller’s Quay and that it has been recognised for innovation in the delivery structure, and as an example of true collaborative working. We have created an incredible partnership on this project with PIC, GRAHAM, and Wirral Council, with ongoing support from Homes England, where we all share the same ambition, and this collaboration has been crucial to the project’s success.
"The staff and students at Wirral Met College also deserve a special thank you because they have been an important part of this project from the very beginning. They are fully embracing every opportunity that this development is giving them to learn all about modern and green methods of construction and how to build the energy efficient homes of the future.
"Finally, we'd like to thank the judges and the team at Insider for seeing the impact and scale of this project and for recognising the importance of developing strong partnerships on a development of this scale."
Peter Reavey, Regional Director at GRAHAM said: "We are absolutely delighted for the entire Project Team to receive the recognition of this prestigious award."
