Vistry Group has agreed a deal to build 146 new houses and apartments in Wellingborough in partnership with Man Group’s community housing team.
The Glenvale Park development will comprise one- and two-bedroom maisonettes, and two-, three- and four-bedroom homes across a range of different tenures.
The first 75 homes delivered on the 7.8-acre site will offer social rent and shared ownership homes supported by Homes England.
Situated to the north of Wellingborough, the site forms part of the wider 3,000-home Glenvale Park urban extension scheme, which will provide 675 affordable dwellings plus a 25,000 sq m business park, a new local centre with retail amenities, a new communal hub, two new primary schools, a nursery and extensive parkland.
Andy Reynolds, managing director of Vistry South East Midlands, said: “We are thrilled to be working with Man Group for the first time on this exciting project. Our use of modern methods of construction will reduce the carbon footprint of these homes whilst allowing them to be built at speed to meet the housing needs of the community.
“We’re excited to once again be a part of Wellingborough’s growth and to be entrusted with the build of these much-needed new homes which will create a thriving and sustainable community.”
Shamez Alibhai, managing director and head of community housing at Man GPM, added: “Our aim is to help address the UK’s housing crisis by creating affordable, high-quality and sustainable homes. We are pleased to partner with Vistry to deliver on this ambition and develop 146 new homes in Wellingborough. By working together, we have the potential to deliver real social impact and provide environmentally sustainable communities.”
