Countryside Properties is totally committed to maintaining our position at the forefront of affordable housing provision, and promoting the creation and regeneration of sustainable communities. We have more than 20 years experience of providing new and refurbished affordable housing for our partners.
We have unrivalled expertise in estate regeneration and have undertaken 20 mixed-tenure estate regeneration schemes with local authorities and housing associations in the last 15 years. These have brought new life to run-down urban areas.
We are highly skilled in creating integrated developments with a wide range of tenures. Increasingly these are 'tenure blind' developments where the differing tenures are 'pepper potted' throughout the scheme.
Uniquely Placed in the Sector
Our design and build activities are a very important part of the Group’s integrated approach to mixed-use and mixed-tenure development. We are therefore ideally placed to create affordable housing opportunities for our housing association and local authority partners, primarily through planning agreements, estate regeneration, mixed-use schemes and joint ventures.
Unrivalled Range of Affordable Housing Services
We are able to bring our partners an unparalleled range of skills and experience including development management and sales and marketing services. Indeed, the strengths we can bring to our partners include:
-
Mixed-tenure – to generate cross subsidy and help to secure more balanced communities.
-
Mixed-use – to provide employment and create more sustainable places.
-
Project and development management skills and sales and marketing services.
-
Community development initiatives, including local employment and training.
-
Highly skilled people with considerable experience, energy and enthusiasm.
