The Owl Group has acquired a 20.5-acre site in Madeley, Staffordshire, marking the largest land purchase in its 10-year history.<\/p>\n
The Tamworth-based housebuilder will deliver 188 homes on land off Bar Hill under the new Madeley Grange scheme.<\/p>\n
Owl Homes will build 96 open-market properties in a range of 12 house types, while its sister company Owl Partnerships will deliver 92 affordable and mixed-tenure homes, including social rent and shared ownership housing.<\/p>\n
Mike Kelly, managing director of Owl Homes, said: \u201cThis acquisition marks a major milestone in Owl\u2019s journey and an important step forward in how we continue to grow and diversify across the Owl Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cAcquiring Madeley Grange supports our strategic growth ambitions, enhances our portfolio in Staffordshire, and enables us to provide high-quality homes across the region. Projects of this scale only succeed through strong partnerships and rigorous execution, and I\u2019m proud of the professionalism and dedication shown by all involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the reserved matters application now submitted, we expect to deliver the first homes in autumn 2026 \/ spring 2027.”<\/p>\n
The scheme will also include 3.45 hectares of green open space, two sustainable drainage ponds and three play areas.<\/p>\n
Kelly added: \u201cNot only is this site our largest acquisition to date but it also demonstrates the strength of our integrated approach and long-term pipeline across both open market and partnership-led housing. Its location perfectly aligns with our vision to bring high quality homes to semi-rural areas and villages, while still retaining close connections to towns and cities.<\/p>\n
\u201cDevelopments like Madeley Grange allow us to scale responsibly whilst building long lasting communities. We continue to seek and secure further opportunities across the Midlands as part of our growth strategy.”<\/p>\n
