Second phase of £52.8m retirement scheme completes
Work on the second phase of a £52.8m retirement scheme outside Alcester has completed.
An additional 44 retirement living cottages, 24 apartments and landscaping including an outdoor amphitheatre have been delivered at Great Alne Park, which is owned by Inspired Villages.
The first phase of the scheme, comprising cottages and apartments, as well as the village centre was completed by contractor Seddon in June 2018.
Phase three will see the final part of the village completed with an extra 44 cottages built as well as the completion of a wildflower meadow. Inspired Villages plans to begin construction of this phase in early 2022.
Jamie Bunce, CEO of Inspired Villages, said: “Our philosophy is centred around resident’s holistic wellbeing – looking after their physical, social, financial and mental health, encouraging them to enjoy a healthy, happy and independent life.
“Great Alne Park has been already met with high praise and the completion of phase 2 marks an important point in our plans for the future of Great Alne Park, providing additional homes for an ever-increasing market, as well as continuing our commitment to environmental sustainability.
“We are looking forward to enhancing this exceptional village further next year when we start the third and final phase of the village which will include 44 cottages and completion of the wildflower meadow.”
Jonathan Seddon, CEO at Seddon, said: “Following an extremely successful initial phase, we’re thrilled to have delivered another 68 beautiful new retirement living homes at Great Alne Park.”
