M60<\/a>, on the site of a former gas-holder, is the biggest phase of a multi-million pound project to transform Hollinwood Junction into a major employment hub.<\/p>\nIn total, the project is expected to deliver more than 720 jobs, along with new homes, shops and leisure facilities.<\/p>\n
This phase of the council-driven scheme, spearheaded by developers Langtree, is expected to be completed by July 2026.<\/p>\n

The project, which has been welcomed by Oldham Council as a \u2018strong message of growth\u2019, also includes around 150 family homes built off the newly-constructed Albert Street.<\/p>\n
Earlier phases of the development have already brought the area a new Costa drive-thru, with a new Lidl store currently under construction.<\/p>\n
Council boss Arooj Shah, who joined project leaders at the site to mark the start of the work, said: \u201cThis is an important moment for one of our biggest projects, and I\u2019m pleased work is now starting on site.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe high quality of this development shows that Oldham is attracting serious investors and businesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt also sends a strong message that our borough is a place full of opportunities and growth. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to seeing the progress and to welcoming new businesses who choose Oldham for its great location and skilled workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n
The project is being backed by industrial investment firm Indurent, who have offered a \u00a325m starting boost, and construction work is being carried out by Russell WBHO.<\/p>\n
Josh Downes, an executive director at Langtree, added: \u201cThis will be a game changer for Oldham. The ability to provide a range of modern industrial units to occupiers is not just key to attracting ambitious, forward-looking employers, but also to helping existing Oldham-based SMEs expand in the town.<\/p>\n
