WORK to build 144 apartments in Warrington town centre is nearing completion.

The site, on Academy Street, was formerly home to a Kwik Save.

Lane End Developments is working in partnership with Torus on the scheme.

Torus has confirmed that the first phase of the development is due to be completed in June, which will see 66 apartments – all available via rent to buy – handed over to Torus.

It is expected that the scheme will be fully completed by August, with all 144 apartments then available for residents to move into.

Torus added that ‘we are very much looking forward to’ welcoming them to their new homes.
