Work on Walsall Waterfront housing scheme near end
The multi-million pound transformation of Walsall Waterfront with 300 homes will be completed by the end of next month, developers have said.
The ambitious development has been ongoing since February 2010 to kickstart the regeneration of the canalside quarter.
Now the finishing touches are being put to the final 82-block apartment.
It started with the construction of the main 111-apartment block and 22 houses which were ready for families from Easter last year. Another 82 block of apartments were handed over to Caldmore Housing Association earlier this year.
Developer Jessops' spokesman Ian Jacksonsaid: "It will have been a very significant project for Walsall. It has brought life to that end of the town."
At least £65 million is being earmarked for redeveloping the canalside area and a £10m Premier Inn hotel, creating 65 jobs, is due to open next month.
