Willmott Dixon will deliver a £12.5 million scheme to construct a collection of 65 new homes in Ashby de la Zouch.
The 65 one- and two-bedroom homes are located alongside communal areas such as a hairdressers and bistro for emh care & support. The scheme has been designed to create an inclusive environment that brings together people of all ages as there is no age restriction on the facility.
Upon completion, 50 of the apartments will be rented while 15 will be for sale.
Michelle Cotterill, Director at Willmott Dixon, said: “We have been working closely with emh care & support to make sure we are creating a scheme that is going to make the local community proud. Every step of the way we have been working collaboratively with all project partners through workshops, ensuring we plan effectively.”
Michelle continued: “We will also be working with Stephenson College on a work experience scheme, accommodating apprentices currently working for emh care & support, to give them experience in working on a new build project.”
Joanna Grainger, Executive Director at emh care & support, said: “A development like this requires strong and trusted relationships, and we are delighted to be working with Willmott Dixon, North West Leicestershire DC, and our other partners to deliver our most ambitious project to date.”
Designed by architects BRP, the homes are schedule to complete in early 2021 and there are also plans to build an adjacent new school.
