Partly funded by a £14m grant from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, the development is due to be completed in August 2024.

The Northminster development is the latest in a host of recent projects, including the construction of 430 apartments on the Perry Barr Residential Scheme, in Birmingham, and the Town House at Kingston University.

Willmott Dixon director David McCallion said: “We are proud to be delivering this fantastic ten-storey flagship Northminster development in collaboration with PIP, providing affordable housing stock and valuable commercial spaces to further attract investment into the area. This is such an important regeneration project for Northminster, and we are looking forward to working alongside our delivery partners to revitalise the area for residents and the wider community.”

Last month, the company announced that it had partnered with the North Tyneside Council to deliver a net-zero transport hub and town square in North Shields, UK.
