Sheffield Housing Company (SHC), a joint venture housing and regeneration company established by Sheffield City Council with Keepmoat Homes and Great Places Housing Group, is delivering 98 new affordable homes in the Manor area of the city.
The mixed tenure properties, which includes homes for affordable rent and shared ownership, are being built across three sites.
Sheffield City Council is purchasing 47 homes at Corker Bottoms, just off Harborough Road, comprising two, three and four bedroomed properties; and at Eclipse (phases 12 and 13, just off Harborough Avenue), a further 40 two, three and four bedroomed homes will be created. 11 homes have already been acquired by Great Places Housing Group at the Pennine Village development, on Manor Park Road.
SHC is continuing to pursue a goal of building over 2,000 new homes, with more than 300 new homes also built for private sale between Beckett Hill, in the Parson Cross neighbourhood, and alongside the new affordable homes at Eclipse and Pennine Village, in the Manor.
SHC development director, Steve Birch, said: “We are committed to broadening housing choice, quality and providing greater access to affordable homes across the city. By working closely with our partners, we have been able to create developments and communities that share a more diverse tenure mix and are enabling local people to start their home journey.
“The properties created over the lifetime of the partnership have included housing for open market sale, affordable rent, shared ownership and private rent. At a time when the Government is promoting a huge increase in housing delivery across the country, Sheffield Housing Company continues to create new opportunities for people in this city.”
