Housebuilder to invest more than £105m
A trio of developments are set to deliver more than 750 homes and represents an investment in the region of more than £105m by housebuilder Persimmon.
Persimmon Homes Central will deliver 758 homes – including 159 affordable properties – at new developments opening in Birmingham, Coventry and Rugby during the first half of 2022.
Nick Wilkins, technical director at Persimmon Central, said: “The collective achievement of our land and planning team in getting these deals over the line is fantastic, and demonstrates our commitment to continued investment across our region.”
The first of the trio is the third and final phase at Persimmon’s Coton Park development in Rugby, representing an investment of £32m.
Of the 224 new homes, 67 will be affordable and the mix will include one-bed maisonettes, two and three-bed semis and terraced and four-bed detached properties.
Whitmore Place on Holbrook Lane in Coventry is a development of 347 homes on the site of a former factory operated by Meggitt and represents an investment of more than £48m by Persimmon.
Meanwhile, in Birmingham, work is underway at the former Nock brick works in Erdington to build a development of 187 new homes made up of two-bed apartments, two and three-bed semi-detached and terraced houses, and three and four-bed detached properties.
Holly Fields represents a total investment of more than £25m and will include 19 affordable properties. The first homes are expected to be released for sale at the end of March.
