Construction News Image
Shearer Property Regen Ltd (SPRL) has secured plans to regenerate Coventry City Centre.

SPRL, a partnership between award-winning housebuilder The Hill Group (Hill) and commercial specialist Shearer Property Group (SPG), has been given the green light for for the first phase of the City Centre South (CCS) project.

Providing up to 1,550 homes, plans for the first phase of the visionary £450 million transformation of the centre of Coventry include the delivery of 991 new homes, 8,000 square metres of new commercial space, and 17,000 square metres of public open space, to create an exciting new residential, shopping, and leisure destination for the Midlands.

The homes in phase one will range in size from studios to three-bedrooms, accommodating a diverse mix of residents. 200 of the homes will be affordable housing for local people, 145 of which will be made available for social rent and 55 as shared ownership. The remaining 791 homes will be available through private market sale and rent. Most of the affordable allocation will be in the first two buildings being delivered.

Designed and built to high environmental standards, the new homes incorporate energy-efficient construction methods and a range of sustainability features, including photovoltaic solar panels, green roofs, low-energy lighting, water-saving fixtures, and connection to an efficient district heating system to help reduce residents’ energy bills. With quality of living in mind, all homes have private outdoor space in the form of a balcony or terrace, as well as access to communal podium gardens, roof terraces, and landscaped squares.

The homes will be split across a series of four buildings ranging in height from five to 19 storeys, with attractive contemporary architecture inspired by Coventry’s rich history and its existing heritage buildings. A series of public artworks, including to-scale replicas of the History of Coventry murals by artist William Mitchell, will further preserve the city’s cultural heritage.
