Contractor and developer Real has been appointed to construct 92 quality and affordable homes in the London Borough of Sutton town centre.
The new homes at Beech Tree Place will be delivered as part of the broader revitalisation of the town centre and will respond to Sutton residents’ desire to deliver sustainable, quality led projects which protect heritage and promote sustainability in a changing commercial environment.
Real will dedicate its work to support the broader ambitions of Sutton council and residents, by working sympathetically and proactively to ensure the successful delivery of these affordable homes.
Attention to sustainable energy will be at the heart of the project, including modern installations, like air source heat pumps to provide heating and hot water. The development will be gas free and follow exemplar design methodology.
Beech Tree Place residents will benefit from a new communal rear garden, an open green roof-top and internal communal spaces to socialise and meet.
Sutton Council, along with its construction partners have paid particular attention to the heritage of the neighbouring Grade II listed, St. Nicholas Church and have begun the much anticipated process of opening up the gyratory to a more welcoming and accessible public realm design.
Mark Unsworth, Regional Director of Real LSE, said: “We are pleased to be working with the London Borough of Sutton on this project to deliver modern, spacious and affordable housing for Sutton residents. We are proud to be supporting the borough’s wider regeneration goals, particularly at a time when affordable housing is needed due to the cost-of-living crisis and increasing rental prices.”
Cllr David Bartolucci, Lead Member for Housing, London Borough of Sutton, commented: “The London Borough of Sutton is committed to maintaining and improving its council estates, so we can continue providing quality homes for our existing residents and the broader community. We are therefore pleased to have selected Real LSE to deliver the Beech Tree Place scheme.
“Real LSE are vigilant to the present challenges in the construction industry and are engaging with residents and Sutton Council on how we ensure the resident co-design scheme is fulfilled to the highest standard. We look forward to working with them and Beech Tree Place residents, in order to deliver and provide 92 ‘exemplar’ homes for local people.”
