Student and build to rent specialist Watkin Jones has struck a deal to build 295 new homes on behalf of the North West’s biggest affordable housing provider Torus.
The new partnerships scheme will result in the regeneration of an existing Moss Nook brownfield site, forming part of an overall masterplan to regenerate a former industrial site in St Helens, with the initial phases already under construction by Taylor Wimpey.
This next phase of the scheme will see Watkin Jones deliver a mix of affordable properties from two, three, and four-bedroom family homes to mews-type properties and apartments over a 40-month build programme.
The development will introduce 140 new affordable properties, with 111 for shared ownership, 20 for social renting and 24 offered as rent-to-buy homes
George Dyer, Group Investment Director of Watkin Jones, said: “Delivering residential homes remains a key element of our overall residential strategy, and we look forward to growing our partnerships further in this space.”
