Main construction work has already started on the 63 family homes, which will be brought to market under Sigma’s private rental brand, Simple Life.
Called Stanley Park, the mews-style development is being built on derelict, brownfield land off Newport Lane in Burslem. Once home to the former Wood & Sons and Stanley Potteries, the site has been fully remediated
A proportion of funding for the development was provided by Homes England and Stoke-on-Trent City Council via the National Housing Infrastructure Fund.
Work on the a 79-week construction programme began in April 2020.
Jason Berry, managing director at Sigma Capital Group, said: “We’re really excited to be working with Seddon to launch our Simple Life homes in a new area for us. This is a landmark site, marking our first-time partnership with Seddon. We’re really looking forward to seeing this collaboration go from strength to strength, delivering high quality rental homes across the northwest and midlands.â€
The final phase of Stanley Park will be built by Seddon for Stoke-on-Trent City Council, in line with its affordable housing planning policy. Plans for this phase will create a further 36 affordable homes and are currently being finalised.
