Sustainability
In Action
Practical.
Embedded.
Real.
We’re not just building places that work now, we’re delivering places which will stand the test of time whilst minimising their impact on the planet. Every project is delivered with longevity in mind to minimise its long-term environmental
impact.
Modern Methods of Construction, Foundry Lane, Widnes
By using timber frame construction we are able to maximise the
thermal efficiency of the home, reduce embodied carbon
and accelerate delivery.
Concrete frame retention, Stopford Park, Stockport
The carbon embodied in Torkington, originally built in the 1950s, has been retained and not wasted. Reusing the existing structure saved 1,152 tonnes of embodied carbon and prevented more carbon being used in the construction of a new building.
Infrastructure, Interchange, Stockport
Making greener travel easier and more attractive through improved links between bus, rail, walking and cycling, helping to cut car use and improve connectivity. Sustainable features also include rainwater management systems, photovoltaic panels, as well as a two-acre rooftop park that enhances urban biodiversity.
We work collaboratively with our local authority partners, design teams, contractors and supply chain to continually explore opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of our projects, including improved energy performance and enhancing the long-term resilience of the places we are regenerating.
Consideration is given to building fabric efficiency, responsible material selection, methods of heating and cooling, along with sustainable onsite energy generation.
Community First
Regeneration only works if it works for the people who live there.
Every Cityheart project starts with understanding local needs and ends with delivering lasting benefit – jobs, spaces, and opportunities that make a real difference.
