Shaylor to turn Cadbury HQ into flats

1 Apr 15 Shaylor Group has been selected as principal contractor for the £16m refurbishment of former Cadbury headquarters Franklin House in Bournville.

Working with developer Court Collaboration and local architect BPN, Shaylor will convert the 1960s commercial office space into apartments, worth £6.4m of the overall budget.

Franklin House, reportedly the birthplace of the Curly Wurly, will have 79 one and two-bedroom apartments, including four penthouse suites featuring internal courtyards. The property will be re-branded as The Franklin. Completion is scheduled for March 2016.

Shaylor chief executive Stephen Shaylor said: “We have significant experience in the housing sector and look forward to bringing The Franklin to life.â€

Pictured below is how the building looks before work starts.

The contract is the latest in a string of commercial to residential projects Shaylor Group has been awarded nationally. Shaylor has recently completed two similar projects in Croydon with a combined value of approximately £6.5m. Work has recently started on a third residential conversion project in London to convert a former office block into more than 140 studios with a contract value of just under £5m.
