The build-to-rent developer has been granted approval to start building its 158-apartment Croal Valley project, opposite the former Beales/Whittakers department store.
Cllr Martyn Cox, deputy leader of Bolton Council, said: “Croal Valley is a vital site in Bolton Council’s town centre masterplan. Placefirst’s plans will bring much-needed modern housing and attractive public spaces on a brownfield site.
“The development is set in the heart of Bolton and will attract more people, create new jobs and position our town centre as a desirable place to live and work.”
Designed by architect Levitt Bernstein, the £25m development is situated on a key 2.7-acre site off Central Street and Deansgate, and is part of Bolton Council’s £1.5bn regeneration of the town centre.
