Housebuilder and regeneration specialist Lovell is celebrating after Birmingham City Council's Housing department won two prestigious national awards.

Lovell is a key partner of the Council's Birmingham Municipal Housing Trust (BMHT) and was directly involved in the programme which won 'Best Use of Housing in Regeneration' at the Regeneration and Renewal Awards.

BMHT also received the special Grand Prix Award at the Regeneration and Renewal Awards, beating off national competition from developments including the Olympic park and legacy transformation.


The programme which took the 'Best Use of Housing in Regeneration' Award featured Pershore Road in Edgbaston - a £2.7m scheme of 33 properties (2, 3 and 4 bed houses and 2 bed apartments). David Gough, regional director of Lovell in the Midlands, said:

"We're delighted – both for Lovell and also for our client, Birmingham City Council. The Council has been rewarded for its bold thinking, while we are delighted that the quality of the homes we build and the service we offer have helped secure this award. This development and others like it have been of great importance to the city of Birmingham. Being based in Birmingham ourselves, it gives us great pride to be involved."
