Galliford Try's Investments business has received planning permission for a major Private Rental Sector (PRS) development at Grafton Gate in Central Milton Keynes, set to transform the city's skyline with a 33-storey residential tower.

The 599 Grafton Gate scheme will deliver 302 new homes, offering contemporary one- and two-bedroom apartments designed to meet the growing demand for high-quality city-centre living in Milton Keynes.

Positioned at the south-west gateway to the city centre, near Milton Keynes Central railway station, the development will not only provide much-needed housing but also enhance the surrounding public realm.


The ground floor of the tower will feature commercial spaces, including a potential café with outdoor seating adjacent to Grafton Park, creating a vibrant connection between the development and the city’s green spaces.

Residents will benefit from a range of premium amenities, including:

• Fitness studio, games room, and resident lounge

• Flexible workspaces and a private dining area

• An orangery and rooftop landscaped terrace on the 29th floor

• A landscaped terrace and internal lounge on the 10th floor, offering panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside

Galliford Try will now advance the necessary design documentation to secure Gateway 2 approval under the Building Safety Act, ensuring that the development meets the highest safety standards before construction begins.
