Wrexham has reason to celebrate, as Manor Gardens Phase 1 in Rhostyllen has won Best High Volume New Housing Development in Wales at the highly respected LABC Building Excellence Awards 2025.
Thoughtful Placemaking
The accolade recognises far more than the delivery of 223 new homes. It reflects a vision shaped by skilled craftsmanship, thoughtful placemaking, and a genuine commitment to building a community that feels rooted and authentic.
“This is a hugely proud moment for us,” said Steve Griffin, Managing Director of SG Estates. “To have recognition on this scale, especially for a development of this size, speaks volumes about the passion and dedication of everyone involved.”

Set on the edge of the Erddig National Trust Parkland, Manor Gardens has quickly become one of the area’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. It offers the best of both worlds, modern living in a green, peaceful setting, all just minutes from Wrexham city centre.
“Incredibly Grateful”
“We set out to build more than houses, and wanted to create a place where people genuinely feel at home,” Steve continued. “This achievement is a testament not just to the design and build quality, but to the care behind every decision, from layout to landscaping.”
The award also highlights the commitment of the wider project team. Their close work with local authorities and attention to detail helped set Manor Gardens apart from developments across Wales.
“I am incredibly grateful to our team, our partners and everyone who shared in this journey,” Steve added. “This success belongs to all of them.”

Exciting Milestone
With Phase 2 now underway, this recognition marks an exciting milestone, not a conclusion, but the next chapter in the growth of a development already praised for its design, location and strong sense of place.
Manor Gardens’ success is more than a win for SG Estates. It is a moment of pride for Wrexham itself, further strengthening the city’s reputation as somewhere quality homes and thriving communities can truly flourish.
