Walsall Housing Group (whg) has announced Kier Partnership Homes as development partner for the delivery of mixed tenure housing across five sites in and around Walsall.

The £42 million project has been made possible by using grant funding through the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) Affordable Homes Programme 2015.

The multi-site regeneration scheme, procured through the HCA Delivery Partner Panel (DPP) framework, will see Kier and whg deliver a total of 186 open market sale homes and 154 affordable units, comprising a mix of two-bedroom apartments through to four-bedroom houses.

All properties will be delivered to Code for Sustainable Homes level 3, meaning the residents will benefit from reduced running costs for their new homes.

The project team has demonstrated true collaboration, and overcome many issues to ensure that the client can proceed with this much needed regeneration to the local area."
