Douglas Council says its new social housing development in Willaston is 'everything' it wants to achieve in one building.
The local authority has spent £11 million on the new apartment block which has 48 flats and will take roughly 88 people of its waiting list.
Leader Devon Watson says the development will also make the housing stock more 'efficient' by helping people downsize.
Our Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him and the Chair of the Housing Committee Peter Washington.
