Collaboration with social housing provider to deliver dozens of properties

Avant Homes North Yorkshire has partnered with the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust to deliver 69 homes.

Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust (JRHT) is a social housing and care provider in Yorkshire and the North East.

The new homes will be built at Greensward Point in Easingwold and Greenlock Place in Leeds, both Avant Homes developments.

JRHT will offer these properties through social rent or their shared ownership programme, ensuring residents can choose.

At Greensward Point in Easingwold, the development will include two and three-bedroom detached and semi-detached properties.

The first 12 homes have already been handed over to the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, with the remaining 22 homes expected to be completed by summer 2025.

In Greenlock Place in Leeds, Avant Homes will offer one and two-bedrooms flats, as well as two and three bedroom semi-detached properties, all anticipated to be ready by summer 2025.

Avant Homes Group head of affordable housing delivery, Phil Lacey, said: “We are very pleased to have secured our first deal with Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust on our already successful Greensward Point and Greenlock Place developments.

“Both are popular places to live, and our energy efficient properties provide the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust with a range of new affordable homes which give more people the opportunity to live within new and already thriving communities.

“We look forward to continuing to work with the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust so we can deliver our vision of providing quality homes, for everyone.”

Chris Simpson, executive director at Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, added: “Good quality homes enhance our lives and support our health. Everyone in the UK should have access to an affordable and safe home.

“Partnering with Avant Homes helps us to provide more affordable homes to those in the greatest need, contributing to our goal of providing 1,000 new and affordable homes by 2029.”
