UK housebuilder Weston Homes is investing £315 mln (€368 mln) in new housing projects across London and the South-East.
This expansion will create nearly 900 new homes, with an additional 650 currently in the planning stages, bringing their total pipeline to 1,500 new homes.
The first project to launch this year is Tayfen Court, a £42 mln (€49 mln) transformation of a former 1950s gasholder. The development will bring 171 modern apartments to Bury St Edmunds, flexible commercial space and landscaped communal gardens.
In April, Weston Homes will launch Brentwood Central, a £19 mln (€22 mln) five storey contemporary residential development offering 60 one and two-bedroom apartments arranged around a central communal courtyard garden.
Nestled in London’s Barking, Town Quay is a £53 mln (€62 mln) waterside scheme providing 147 apartments for affordable rent, shared ownership and sale, as well as commercial space. The project is a collaboration with regeneration specialist BeFirst London.
Launching alongside Town Quay is Jasper Wharf, a 29-story tower and addition to the Abbey Quay regeneration project. It brings 167 one and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses, most boasting private balconies or terraces, in addition to gated parking, and ample cycle bays.
Also starting by mid-2024 will be Bracknell Beeches, a £130 mln (€152 mln) development of 349 one and two bedroom apartments, flexible commercial space spread across seven new buildings, and communal outdoor areas, just minutes from Bracknell railway station.
Two residential projects are in the planning approval stage. They include the £35 mln (€41 mln) Thornwood Park in Epping with 62 family homes with private gardens and Vidris in Stanway near Colchester that will offer nearly 600 new homes (30% affordable) with ponds and cycling routes.
Weston Homes continues to seek sites across outer London and the South East, with a focus on locations near railway stations, primarily greenfield land, brownfield sites, and landmark buildings.
