A ribbon has been cut on the development of 24 new affordable homes in the Carley Hill area of Sunderland and tenants are being welcomed into their new neighbourhood.
Delivered by Esh Construction’s affordable housing division for Gentoo Group, the £3.9 million Leeway Green scheme consists of 6 two-bedroom bungalows, 16 two-bedroom houses and 2 three-bedroom houses which have all been built with the latest, energy efficient technology.
Residents of Leeway Green homes will benefit from carbon reduction measures, with each home being 70% carbon neutral and including air source heat pumps, high performance windows, full-fill insulation and electric car charging points.
Mark Binns, operating director at Esh Construction, said: “We are pleased to officially mark the handover at Leeway Green and the first time Esh has delivered affordable housing in partnership with Gentoo Group.
“We are passionate about leaving a legacy in the areas of our construction projects and throughout this scheme we have delivered a range of social value initiatives, including, volunteering and tree planting, donations to Gentoo’s crisis fund and a local foodbank collection, along with the delivery of careers sessions in three local schools.”
Joanne Gordon, development director at Gentoo Group, said: “I’m delighted we can now welcome tenants into our stylish, high quality and environmentally friendly homes at Leeway Green.
“These homes have been created with the tenant at the heart of every decision, from reduced, affordable rent to spacious, modern designs and energy efficient features to keep energy bills low. These features are as important as ever in the current cost of living crisis and we’re confident these homes will improve the quality of life of tenants who live here.”
