The winning projects, which were announced at the regional ceremony in No. 8, Manchester, were judged across five categories; Residential Development, Community Benefit, Heritage, Public Sector, Refurbishment-Revitalisation.
Silk Street in Newton Heath – which provides 69 high-quality, low-carbon homes for affordable social rent – was revealed as the winner of the Public Sector Project category.
New Victoria (pictured) won in the Residential Development category. As quantity surveyor on the £110M+ award-winning PRS scheme “New Victoria” for Muse, Walker Sime played a pivotal role in the delivery of a 520-apartment scheme which was completed nine months ahead of schedule and on budget.
Grade II listed Castlefield Viaduct came up top in the Community Benefit Project category. It has been restored and reinvented in a pilot scheme led by the National Trust and designed by Twelve Architects.
The RICS Awards showcase the most inspirational initiatives and developments in land, real estate, construction and infrastructure. They recognise outstanding achievement, teamwork and companies.
