Hounslow Council has appointed Higgins Partnership to deliver 182 new council homes as part of the regeneration of the Charlton House and Albany House estate in Brentford.
The scheme will replace 92 ageing homes with 182 energy efficient homes for social rent. Around 30% of the new properties will be larger family-sized properties, providing much-needed accommodation for local families.
The development will also deliver new ground floor commercial space and more than 2,500 sq m of new landscaped green space.
Tom Bruce, deputy leader of Hounslow Council and cabinet member for regeneration and economic development, said: “We’re excited to start working on this development with Higgins Partnership, delivering 182 homes to fit resident’s needs. It is our ambition to support residents to live in good quality, healthy and affordable homes that are safe and secure, and through Charlton and Albany House we hope to achieve that. The new neighbourhood will feature energy efficient homes for social rent, larger family homes, improved green space and space for local businesses.”
Declan Higgins, chief executive officer for Higgins Group, added: “We are delighted to be appointed by Hounslow Council to deliver this landmark regeneration scheme. Providing 182 high quality, low carbon council homes, the development will make a lasting difference to residents’ lives while supporting the council’s ambition to create sustainable, thriving communities. We look forward to working closely with the local community to deliver training, employment and wider social value initiatives that will leave a positive legacy for years to come.”
