Casa by Moda is set to open its first homes in the North West after having contracted to buy 93 homes from Northstone in Wigan.
Casa at Tulach will consist of two, three and four-bedroom rental houses which will be operated by Casa for the long-term. The homes form part of the wider 268-home scheme which is nearing completion.
The neighbourhood, which will be Casa’s fourth, is located near Pemberton Train Station, with fast travel links to both Manchester and Liverpool, as well as Manchester Airport. A new pedestrian link from Tulach directly to the station platform is scheduled for completion later this year.
The development also benefits from communal outdoor areas including a children’s play area, as well as close proximity to local amenities including schools, retail, leisure and medical facilities.
As at all Casa by Moda neighbourhoods, Casa at Tulach will offer deposit-alternative, pet-friendly living which places service, technology, well-being and sustainability at the heart of its rental communities. Each of the homes comes equipped with solar panels and are all EPC B-rated.
Rental packages also include superfast broadband and smart technology such as home security systems, smart doorbells and environmental sensors from Casa by Moda’s technology partner, Utopi.
Residents will have access to the bespoke MyCasa app, which allows them to communicate 24/7 with maintenance services. The app also supports the wider resident community, allowing residents to connect with their neighbours, form chats and clubs and engage with seasonal events run by Casa.
Matt Townson, director of development and projects at Casa by Moda, said: “The success of our existing Casa by Moda neighbourhoods has shown there is a demand for high-quality rental homes which offer more than just bricks and mortar. Given the outstanding homes, transport links and beautiful outdoor spaces at this location, we are confident Casa at Tulach is going to transform the way people rent in Wigan.”
Joanna Allen, land and partnerships director at Northstone, added: “We are pleased to meet our plan to deliver mixed tenure developments and communities that give greater access and choice to customers with our new energy-efficient homes. We believe that we provide something new to the new build homes market at our Tulach development which has been a great success.”
“At Northstone we are incredibly committed to setting a new standard for new builds – in every possible way – from the quality and leading eco-innovations in our homes, to the exacting standards in overall design with our Scandi principles and style and industry-leading sustainability initiatives and this is all evident at our Wigan scheme which we are fiercely proud of.”
