Build-to-rent (BTR) provider Placefirst has started construction work on the final phase of its regeneration scheme in Hartlepool.

'The Green' development will deliver 12 new two-bedroom bungalows for long-term private rent on Rodney Street.

The homes will be delivered by Placefirst's in-house construction team.

Placefirst has already delivered the existing neighbourhood which comprises three streets of characterful and thoughtfully redeveloped Victorian properties. The scheme is centred around a communal green space and every home has high-spec kitchens, heritage features and private courtyard gardens.

The Green builds on Placefirst's portfolio of neighbourhoods located in the North East which continues to grow at an impressive rate. This includes 'Scholars View' in Hetton-le-Hole, a thriving community of 116 new build homes, 'The Oaks' at Esh Winning in Durham, where work started in September 2022 on 89 homes including 54 bungalows, and ‘Benwell Dene’ in Newcastle, where plans were recently submitted to create 146 sustainable homes at a prominent brownfield site in the city.

Completion is expected in 2024.
