Building for Growth: How the Building Safety Act is Shaping Residential Development

As the residential market continues to expand across the North and the wider UK, the Building Safety Act is ensuring that the quality and accountability underpinning that growth are as robust as the tall buildings and infrastructure we help to deliver.

In a recent feature with Place North West, Curtins’ Manchester Business Unit Director, David Sandbrook, draws on his experience delivering complex residential schemes across the North of England to explore how the legislation is reshaping the industry.

Curtins has played an active role in this transformation, contributing to major schemes such as:

Circle Square, Manchester - a landmark city centre development delivering high-rise living at scale

Millers Quay, Merseyside - part of the wider Wirral Waters regeneration, creating a vibrant waterfront community

These projects not only reflect the region's ambition but also redefine how people live, integrating residential, social, and economic value within connected urban environments.

In the feature, David talks about our work across Manchester, Leeds and Merseyside, while also setting out what the legislation means in practice for High-Risk Building owners.
