UK's Largest Low-rise Modular Housing Development
The development by pharmacy chain Boots, alongside its UK headquarters, is being billed as the country’s largest low-rise modular housing development to date. The deal, brokered by Blackstar Advisory, will unlock a 43-acre housing site along the Beeston canal that is part of the wider 286-acre Nottingham Enterprise Zone. Boots UK, these days part of the Walgreens Boots Alliance Group, selected Ilke Homes to develop the site. It is the first time that Boots has released any part of its Nottingham site holdings for housing, even though this area has been allocated for residential development since 2014. Ilke Homes will work with its architect HTA Design to produce a ‘model village’ that will become Ilke’s flagship site. The proposed scheme will seek to deliver 505 factory-made houses and 117 apartments. All 505 homes will have an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of at least a ‘B’, Ilke said, making them more energy-efficient than 92% of UK new-builds. While the deal remains subject to reserved matters planning consent, Ilke Homes will act as a full turnkey developer, managing the entire development process from securing the land deal and planning permission, through to developing the site and delivering the homes.
