Urban Splash thought that they’d make good places to live and make them amazing homes, with a bit of imagination and some top notch architecture. Just like other Europeans, thought people would want to live in our cities, in buildings with a bit of soul. Wanting to make places to work that were part of wider communities. Creating  spaces for a new generation to make something good and to make going to work as enjoyable as going home.

Urban Splash have been doing it since 1993, first in Manchester and Liverpool, when a history graduate got together with an architect, an interior designer, a chartered surveyor and two builders. Now we’re doing it across the country. Pretty good at it too and have built a lot so far: over £500 million of buildings, over 1 million sq ft of commercial floor space, and over £100 million of new homes.

 Stalybridge, The Mill is picking up where the cotton industry left off, bringing this once thriving mill back to life. Long lands will soon house a mix of apartments, shops, cafes and gardens. These and the communities they attract will revive the site, nestled between the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and the banks of the River Tame in Stalybridge, just outside of Manchester.
