Work is continuing on a £9.3 million housing development in Hull.
The Leeway 2 scheme is being delivered by Compendium Living – a joint venture company set up by Lovell and The Riverside Group – on land at Finchley Close and Hammersmith Road, off Middlesex Road.
Features include 64 new houses for market sale along with four bungalows for affordable rent being provided for the Together Housing Group.
The project forms part of the Ings regeneration programme. The first 65 homes of the scheme were completed by Lovell in August last year. Compendium Living is also creating 83 affordable homes for Together Housing, which make up the second phase of the Ings redevelopment. The homes are currently under construction and are expected to be completed by March 2018.
Overall, the large-scale redevelopment of the Ings area will create 770 new homes as well as new landscaped public open space.
Compendium Living managing director Dave Bullock said: "The Leeway 2 forms the latest phase of our strategic long-term partnership with Hull City Council which is transforming the Ings area with modern and attractive new homes.
"Following the successful completion of the first phase of The Leeway, we anticipate our latest homes for sale will become available towards the end of 2017. The development will offer a mix of house styles and sizes with homes perfect for buyers ranging from first-time purchasers to families and downsizers."
Lovell's Regional Managing Director, Robert Adams, said: "We are extremely pleased to be continuing to work with our partners at Compendium Living, helping deliver this latest phase of the Ings regeneration. Developed in close consultation with local residents, community groups and stakeholders and the City Council, this project is bringing high-quality new homes, including homes for sale, for rent and for shared ownership to east Hull."
