Tamworth-based housebuilder Owl Group has acquired a 20.5-acre development site in Madeley, Staffordshire, on which it intends to deliver 188 new homes.
Owl Homes will build 96 open market homes at the Madeley Grange development and sister company Owl Partnerships will deliver a mixed-tenure development comprising 29 social rent, 26 shared ownership and 37 affordable homes. The homes will be built on land off Bar Hill on the southern edge of the village.
Mike Kelly, managing director of Owl Homes, said: “This acquisition marks a major milestone in Owl’s journey and an important step forward in how we continue to grow and diversify across the Owl Group. Acquiring Madeley Grange supports our strategic growth ambitions, enhances our portfolio in Staffordshire and enables us to provide high quality homes across the region.
“Projects of this scale only succeed through strong partnerships and rigorous execution, and I’m proud of the professionalism and dedication shown by all involved. With the reserved matters application now submitted, we expect to deliver the first homes in autumn 2026/spring 2027.”
He added: “Not only is this site our largest acquisition to date, but it also demonstrates the strength of our integrated approach and long-term pipeline across both open market and partnership-led housing. Its location perfectly aligns with our vision to bring high quality homes to semi-rural areas and villages, while still retaining close connections to towns and cities. Developments like Madeley Grange allow us to scale responsibly whilst building long lasting communities. We continue to seek and secure further opportunities across the Midlands as part of our growth strategy.”
Freeths and Knights supported Owl Group on the land purchase.
