Luxury apartment scheme takes a step closer

Work is underway on a development of 44 luxury one- and two-bed apartments on the bank of the River Nene at Southbridge in Northampton.

The scheme, next to the University of Northampton’s Waterside Campus, which will be known as E3 Lion Court, is a five-storey block on the main with a river view penthouse occupying floors six and seven.

The development is the first to be built by Northampton-based developers H&F Enterprise UK. It is being completed by Deeley Construction on behalf of the developer and is expected to be completed by Autumn next year.

Yan (Henry) Qu, director of H&F Enterprise said: “This is an exciting first project for us. It’s a great scheme, close to the town centre, enjoying river views and a stone’s throw from the new Waterside Campus. The location is perfect.

“We are creating good quality spacious apartments and already, we have been inundated with enquiries and that is a good sign for us and for Northampton.

“A lot of enquires are coming from people outside of Northampton and that is good news. They are keen to move and invest in the town and we are proud to help facilitate this through our development

“The work is progressing nicely, and we are pleased to be working with Deeley Construction. They have a good reputation and we wanted a construction partner to help us deliver a quality scheme.”

Steve Turner, construction director at Deeley Construction, added: “This development responds to the needs of market in Northampton and will be of great benefit to the town’s community.

“Deeley Construction is delighted to be working in partnership with H&F Enterprise to complete this development and completion remains on track for autumn 2020.”
