Construction Work Begins On Garden Village In Leicestershire

Construction News Image
Construction work has commenced on Leicestershire's first Garden Village through the raising of its 'Hollywood-style' sign.

The Cora team are working with Midlands developers Davidsons Homes on the construction of Broadnook Garden Village, bringing more than 1,900 homes on the northern outskirts of Leicester.

More than half of the village will be devoted to green spaces, capturing the best of both rural and city living.

The new sign, built in the style of the iconic Los Angeles landmark, has put the development on the map and marks the start of construction works.

Luke Simmons, Cora Managing Director, said: "We are proud to be co-creating Broadnook Garden Village and in doing so establishing a modern, connected community that will offer residents exceptional homes set among landscaped green areas with open walkways to exercise and immerse in nature.

"Broadnook will create local infrastructure, enterprise zones, community hubs and flexible working spaces – designed to meet the long-term needs of homeowners from today into the future.

"At Cora, we call it Creating Amazing Places."

Broadnook will also be complete with a 162-space community nursery and 570-capacity primary school, alongside amenities including football pitches, tennis courts and a cricket pavilion.

Its ideal location makes it perfect for commuters looking to enjoy the tranquillity of country life while being a short distance from the major Midland hubs of Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Coventry and Birmingham.
