Construction firm Galliford Try, through its Partnerships business, has been selected four new contracts in the extra care and affordable housing sectors, worth an overall £72 million.
Partnerships has signed contracts with the ExtraCare Charitable Trust (ECCT) for its new £36 million retirement village set in five acres of land on the former MG Rover plant in Longbridge, south west of Birmingham.
The new development will create 260 apartments for the over 55s and feature a village centre that includes a village hall, bar, restaurant, gym, IT suite, hair and beauty salon and shop. The project marks the sixth development of this kind that Galliford Try has constructed for the ECCT.
Financial close has been reached on the £18 million scheme to build the new 135-bed 'Village 135' extra care facility for Wythenshawe Community Housing Group.
The project consists of two sites connected by a glass-enclosed pedestrian walkway and will provide a range of facilities for residents including a salon, cafeteria and main kitchen, a winter garden and roof terrace with planting area. The scheme will provide a mix of 66 apartments for affordable rent, 39 apartments for shared ownership and 30 apartments for outright sale.
One Housing Group has appointed Galliford Try to two new contracts that will deliver the Protheroe House (£9.2 million) and Pretoria Road (£9 million) developments in North London.
The Protheroe House scheme will create a 50-bed extra care facility in Haringey including a large communal garden, roof terrace, hobby room and well-being centre as part of the development. The Pretoria Road project will see the construction of 44 one-bed and eight two-bed properties in Hackney.
