Joint Venture
Success and Job Joy for Liverpool
MIDDLE England Developments
has completed its refurbishment of Candia Tower in the Everton area
of North Liverpool.
The company bought both Candia Tower and the neighbouring Crete
Tower back in October from administrators for £1.8m in a Joint
Venture with SLC Property Investments Ltd, after a developer which
had previously proposed a scheme for the site had run out of money.
It immediately began work on refurbishing; both properties and has
completed the 64 apartment Candia Tower block within 3 months.
Middle England said that all 128 units at Candia and Crete Towers
were pre-sold to investors, and contracts have already been
exchanged on all units. Investments for each of the 3 bed room
apartments came from as far afield as China and Singapore.
Managing director of MED, Nigel Russell, said that over £2m has
already been spent on the upgrade, with a design team that includes
KDP Architects and SHP Structural Engineers.
The whole project of the 2 Towers, which are both 16 floors tall,
had directly and indirectly seen around 300 jobs created for the
likes of electricians, labourers and several other building
professions. Kevin Cole, Director of SLC Property Investments
Limited added:- "At a time when significant job cuts are being
made in industry as a result of the economic downturn, we are all
delighted that both Middle England Developments and SLC Property
Investment Ltd are able to create employment opportunities on this
project in North Liverpool."
Crete Tower and the remainder of the site should be complete by
early May 2012. All units in Candia Tower are now being let / up for
let with agents ranging from £525 to £575 per month, with an option
of a furniture pack for an additional £50 per month. There is 24
hour on site security, a resident’s gym, underground parking and
spectacular views out across the city. The specification on this
development is very high with the City Centre only 5 minutes away. |

Home Instead
shows it cares for 5th anniversary
At-home care company Home Instead
Senior Care in Southport has celebrated its 5th birthday this week
by making a generous donation to the Alzheimer’s Society. The
birthday celebrations, held at the company’s offices at Scarisbrick
New Road, were attended by CAREGivers and Linda Lawson, an
information officer from Alzheimer’s Society Southport. Linda
accepted a cheque on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Society and
also took the time to tell the Home Instead team more about her
organisation’s "This is me" campaign which is aimed at
informing professionals about the person with dementia as an
individual and how our CAREGivers can support their clients and
families to compile the information needed. We also presented Linda
with a cheque for £300.00 which relates to funds raised since last
September.
Home Instead owners Anthea Pilkington and Irene Hough commented:-
"As we care for around 150 older people in their own homes, we
are extremely passionate about providing help for people affected
with dementia. We were delighted to carry out fundraising activity
for the cause and were thrilled to be able to present this donation
to Linda and also to hear about the fantastic work that Alzheimer’s
Society is doing in the community."
Linda commented:- "It was lovely to join in Home Instead’s
celebrations and meet all of their wonderful CAREGivers. Thank you
for once again for your generous donation and ongoing support, it
really is appreciated."
Home Instead’s unique services are tailored to the needs of
individual clients and range from companionship, meal preparation,
light housekeeping, post-discharge care, medication reminders,
shopping and errands. The service is person centred and allows
