Tranquillity continues to make exceptional progress on Ordsall Lane, remaining eight weeks ahead of programme. With the SFS and window installation now complete, and internal fit-out works well underway, the development is advancing smoothly towards its planned completion date of November 2026. The site team continues to demonstrate strong coordination and momentum across all aspects of construction.
