The project will be delivered through an existing joint venture vehicle with Thames Valley Housing Association and deliver a third of the homes as market rent for its subsidiary Fizzy Living.

Three of the Galliford Try Group companies; Linden Homes, Galliford Try Partnerships and Galliford Try Infrastructure, will deliver the development which includes homes for sale, rent and shared ownership, a hotel, restaurant, employment and commercial space.
