Strata Homes has begun the first phase of a new housing development located on Preston Road in Hull.
The 500 new home development is a collaboration between the Hull Citywide Developer Partnership (led by Strata and Keepmoat Homes) and Hull City Council. It will provide a range of affordable and private sale properties.
Cllr John Black said: “The council has an ambitious and well established housing-led regeneration programme and thanks to our strong partnerships with developers such as Strata and Keepmoat we are transforming the housing market in Hull. Together we are building new, sustainable neighbourhoods, and given the partnership’s commitment to using local labour, we are bringing new training opportunities and jobs to the city too.”
Strata will be delivering 242 homes and are on site currently with Keepmoat delivering a further 172 homes as the second phase. The homes will comprise of two-, three- and four- bedroom properties.
Mark Leaf, Land and Planning Director at Strata, said “Working alongside the Council and partners the commencement of works on site brings together many years of hard work which will see the area transformed providing a range of new mixed tenure homes. This is a really exciting next step in the redevelopment of the site which will see new homes, roads and open spaces delivered to strengthen the existing community.”
Work at the development is expected to take four years, with the first homes becoming available to purchase in 2022.
