Esh Construction has marked the completion of the Kedward Avenue development in Middlesbrough, with all 105 new homes now handed over to Thirteen Group.

Delivered on land formerly occupied by three tower blocks at Brambles Farm which were demolished in 2018, the development provides a mix of houses, bungalows and apartments for affordable rent, helping meet local housing need while transforming a key site within the community.

A key feature of the scheme is the inclusion of 10 net zero carbon homes, developed as part of Thirteen Group’s commitment to exploring lower-carbon housing solutions and its wider ambition to become a net zero organisation by 2050. 

Mark Binns, Operations Director at Esh Construction, said: “Completing Kedward Avenue and handing over all 105 homes is a fantastic achievement for everyone involved. Alongside delivering high-quality, affordable homes, the scheme has allowed us to support Thirteen’s ambitions around lower-carbon housing provision, with the net zero homes playing an important role in shaping future approaches to sustainability.”

The Kedward Avenue scheme was delivered using modern methods of construction, with all homes built using timber frame to support build efficiency and environmental performance. The project also required close collaboration across design, construction and client teams to ensure the net zero homes met enhanced standards while remaining practical, affordable and future proofed for residents.
