Beam Park, our transformational joint-venture regeneration project with L&Q in east London, is a finalist for Development of the Year (More than 500 homes) at the Property Week #RESIAwards2025!   Delivering nearly 4,000 new homes and an array of facilities and amenities, Beam Park is bringing to life the derelict 72-acre site of a former Ford stamping plant through significant collaboration between public and private sector partners to accelerate housing delivery. With 1,063 homes already delivered in the first two phases, 2024 also saw the opening of the much-needed Beam Park health centre and Central Park, a 2.5-hectare riverside open space that integrates a range of play facilities, so this shortlisting caps a successful year for Beam Park.   Congratulations to all the team and we’re looking forward to celebrating with our colleagues and peers at the awards ceremony on 7 May.

We’re pleased to announce the launch of Greenwood Gardens, the first phase of Lower Herne Village in Kent, in partnership with Places for People. This phase will deliver 128 mixed-tenure homes, providing a mix of shared ownership homes and private homes, the latter delivered by our Countryside Homes brand. This first phase provides the mix of high-quality housing that residents need as well as a significant investment in community infrastructure, including the new Herne Relief Road, to create a thriving and sustainable neighbourhood.   This marks a significant step in our joint venture with Places for People as we work together to deliver high-quality homes at pace. In total, 800 new homes will be delivered alongside key community facilities and infrastructure. Full completion is expected by 2035 with phases C & D, comprising 296 homes, scheduled for planning approval in March 2025.

We were delighted to welcome local Member of Parliament, Jim McMahon to our Harsthead View development in Fitton Hill, Oldham. As Minister for Local Government & English Devolution, Jim provided valuable insight and was keen to learn how our mixed-tenure approach is meeting a wide range of housing needs.   Developed in partnership with Sigma Capital Group Limited and Great Places Housing Group, Hartshead View is transforming a previously derelict site into a thriving new community—delivering 365 much-needed homes and supporting Oldham’s wider regeneration strategy.   A huge thank you to Jim McMahon MP, our partners, and the local councillors who joined us. We’re proud to be playing our part in building quality homes and strengthening communities in Oldham.

We’re delighted to see the first residents move into their new homes at St James Park, following the successful handover of 42 affordable homes to East Herts District Council and affordable housing provider CHP!   These homes have been designed with sustainability at their core, incorporating a range of environmental benefits. They are not only energy-efficient, but they can also be easily adapted in the future, ensuring they continue to meet residents' needs for years to come.   This marks another key milestone in our commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable homes that make a real difference in local communities. Through strong partnerships and collaboration, we’re proud to be supporting the delivery of much-needed affordable housing, helping more families and individuals find a place to call home.   A huge thank you to our teams and partners for their dedication to making this happen. We look forward to seeing this new community thrive!

Work has begun on Vistry Group and Goram Homes newest joint venture site in Bristol.   The development will transform a former school site off New Fosseway Road in Hengrove, which has been empty for over a decade, into a community of 200 new sustainable homes.   Featuring a mix of one to four bedroom homes, the energy efficient properties will include solar panels and air source heat pumps, alongside electric car charging points.   Half of the 130 homes built in the first phase will be affordable housing, for social rent and shared ownership, while the other half will be sold on the open market.                Phase two of the site will be a 70-home extra care facility for older people with care and support needs who wish to maintain their independence with the assurance of on-site care.
