North Wales social housing provider Adra has announced that Bodelwyddan-based Wynne Construction has been awarded a £5.3m contract to build 38 new apartments on the former Bangor social club site on the corner of Deiniol and Farrar Road in Bangor.
Wynne Construction has previously delivered projects in Bangor, including refurbishing departments at Ysbyty Gwynedd and building the £5m Ysgol Glancegin in Maesgeirchen.
The new housing development will feature varied rental options, including a mix of social, intermediate and market rented homes. Plans include 23 two-bedroom and 15 one-bedroom apartments across four storeys. There will also be 38 parking spaces for the residents.
The managing director of Wynne Construction, Chris Wynne said: “We hope to bring the usual community benefits associated with our projects including engaging with local suppliers, recruitment of apprentices, and school and college site visits.”
He added: “Work is expected to start in the summer and is set to be completed by the end of next year.
Iwan Trefor Jones, deputy chief executive at Adra, added: “We at Adra are proud to be working with a local company, Wynne Construction, as working in partnerships with local companies and contributing to the local economy is a priority for us at Adra.
“We will be developing and providing 38 one and two bedroom homes for local people in the city of Bangor, which will include a range of various renting options, to meet the local housing need in the area.”
The former social club was demolished in 2008.
