Persimmon Homes West Wales has handed over 20 new properties at Parc Llanilid in Rhondda Cynon Taf to housing association Valleys to Coast for social rent, taking the association's total at the site to 33.
The transfer covers homes at Michaels Grove and Morgans Walk, Persimmon's two Llanilid outlets.
Valleys to Coast manages more than 6,000 affordable homes across Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taf, alongside commercial properties and leasehold flats. Established in 2003, it was the first large-scale voluntary transfer of council-owned homes to a social housing association in Wales.
Close to the M4, Parc Llanilid is planned to comprise over 1,700 homes once complete.
Work started on the brownfield site in 2019, with longer-term plans including a new primary school and a village centre featuring leisure, retail and community facilities.
Persimmon is also marketing two, three and four-bed homes for sale at Michaels Grove and Morgans Walk, with prices from £219,995.
Cllr Mark Norris, Cabinet Member for Planning at Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, said: "I'm always impressed by the close working between Persimmon and local housing associations like Valleys to Coast whenever I visit Parc Llanilid, and it is really positive to see those relationships continue to flourish to the benefit of local people.
"These new homes, particularly the larger units, will be of great help in addressing housing need in the borough and I welcome any and all additions to our affordable housing stock and wish the new residents best in their new homes."
Ryan Greaney, Land & Planning Director of Persimmon Homes West Wales, added: "Persimmon is determined to leave a positive community legacy where we build, and an integral element of our offering is the transfer of quality new homes to local housing associations.
"We are delighted to have transferred the latest tranche of homes at Llanilid, and we hope this significant community contribution will help alleviate pressure on the local housing list.
"We are pleased to partner with Valley to Coast once more to deliver this increase in provision for local people as we continue to make progress on this popular site."
