Keepmoat is working in partnership with housing association Platform Housing Group at the site in Nottingham where Boots the chemist once made pharmaceuticals.
Now named Beeston Canalside, the disused brownfield site is being developed for housing. Keepmoat is putting up 604 multi-tenure new homes, with construction scheduled to complete in 2029.
Of the new homes, more than half will be delivered by Platform Housing Group for affordable rent and shared ownership, with 157 allocated for affordable rent and 162 for shared ownership.
Adam Sharpe, Keepmoat East Midlands regional managing director, said: “At Keepmoat, we’re proud to be a brownfield specialist house-builder and we’re passionate about working to transform sites that have been previously developed and left unused.
“We’re extremely proud to play our part in unlocking one of the most significant land deals in the last decade. We’re also thrilled to be continuing our fantastic work with Platform Housing Group to deliver high quality, sustainable homes set to regenerate this flagship site.”
Platform Housing new homes delivery director Paula Heatley added: “Sites like this will go a long way in helping the sector address the housing crisis and deliver quality, sustainable places for the people who will eventually get to call them home.
“This is a great example of how key partnership working is and will continue to be as we strive to deliver more affordable homes than ever before and I want to thank all the teams involved in not just the deal to get the site off the ground but also those who are now helping us develop what will be a flagship scheme.”
