A property development company with a stake in the Wirral Waters project has collapsed into administration, with outside help brought in to oversee the completion of its building developments.
US House Group, a joint venture between Urban Splash and Sekisui House UK, both property developers based in Manchester, announced it had gone into administration on May 11. The news means 160 employees will be made redundant, many of them working on the company's development sites, reports businesslive.
One such site was the modular housing development - 'East Float' - of 30 homes being built as part of the Wirral Waters project on the Birkenhead docks. Despite the US House Group going into administration on Wednesday, May 11, Urban Splash, one half of the US House Group, submitted plans to construct 55 more homes to Wirral council.
