Muir Group Housing Association are building more homes than ever before as they reach the halfway point of their Building New Homes Strategy.
Muir’s Building New Homes Strategy saw them target delivery of 500 new homes for affordable rent and shared ownership from 2022-2027. And they’re proud to have recently passed the 250 homes mark — having worked with developers to deliver 257 newly built properties for people to be happy in.
“It’s amazing to have reached this point and we’re determined to build on this success for people by continuing to provide quality new affordable housing opportunities in our communities,” Alex Fury, Muir’s Assistant Director of Development said.
“We’ve been providing a mix of apartments and houses, for affordable rent and shared ownership — ensuring there’s something to meet all needs.
“We’re proud to offer these homes in areas where there’s a definite need, recognising the importance of smaller rural developments just as much as larger ones in our towns and cities. This allows customers to enjoy quality new homes they can afford and help create an exciting next chapter in the lives of people and families while keeping communities together.
“We’d like to thank the developers, contractors, local authorities and all the other partners we’ve been working with to help make these new homes happen.”
As well as the 257 homes already delivered in areas including Cheshire, Cambridgeshire, Lancashire and Lincolnshire, work on a further 125 homes is already underway.
“Achieving our target of 500 new homes by 2027 is a key aim of our Corporate Plan and we’ve worked hard with funding partners to provide financial capacity; with a new £40m Revolving Credit Facility agreed in December 2024,” Nia Hughes, Muir Executive Director of Finance said.
Many of these developments enjoy the support of grant funding — attracting £3.3m of Homes England grants so far, all of which enable Muir to generate even more properties for people to be happy in while fulfilling their Building New Homes ambitions.
