PROJECT OVERVIEW

We are part of the team working to deliver Rochdale Riverside, one of several projects undertaken as part of Rochdale Council’s town centre masterplan. The scheme is part of a joint venture between Genr8 Developments and Kajima, in collaboration with Rochdale Development Agency and Rochdale council. The main contractor for the development is Willmott Dixon.

Completed in April 2020, the first phase of Rochdale Riverside included a new 200,000 sq ft retail and leisure quarter where occupiers include Marks and Spencer, H&M, JD Sorts, River Island, Next, New Look and Boots. The retail complex also features a six-screen Reel Cinema and Hollywood Bowl Puttstars.

The project also included food outlet units finished to shell and core specification for future occupiers such as Greggs, Dunkin Donuts and Heavenly Desserts.

Our engineers provided MEP design consultancy services for the base build shell and core elements and landlord’s areas, including thermal modelling and Part L analysis for each of the buildings. We also provided BREEAM Assessment duties for the project.

Hannan Associates worked closely with other members of the design team to develop innovative, landmark buildings, with effective and efficient building services solutions to meet the needs for each particular building.

Due to the nature of the development and location of the site, our role has also involved extensive dialogue and negotiations with all utility providers in the area, to deal with the extensive major utility diversions that will be necessary on and around the site, as well as dealing with the new supply connection requirements.

We were very pleased to work alongside Genr8 and the rest of the team on this project transforming Rochdale’s retail and commercial landscape to provide its residents with a town centre they can be proud of.
