Leeds Landmark Acquisition Secured

A landmark acquisition comprising of a 928-home site near Leeds Docks, the largest in its history, has been secured by English housing association The Guinness Partnership in Leeds. The site is just a few minutes’ walk from Leeds Station and the new HS2, with Leeds South Bank set to provide 35,000 jobs and deliver 8,000 new homes over the next 15 years. The Hunslet Road site will offer 600,000 sq ft of homes and commercial space to contribute to this vision. “This site, within the Leeds South Bank Regeneration and Innovation District, is a fantastic opportunity for us to create over 900 homes in a vibrant new neighbourhood in Leeds. We intend at least 35% of the homes to be affordable,” said Catriona Simons, Chief Executive of The Guinness Partnership. Guinness has committed to ensuring at least 35% of the available homes will be for the affordable housing market. The site was purchased with the support of part of the funding recently granted by Homes England to Guinness to start building an extra 4,500 affordable homes across England by 2022. “The Guinness Partnership’s proposals are fantastic news for Leeds. That it is committing to its biggest ever scheme here and intending to deliver so many new affordable homes is a real mark of confidence in our vision for the South Bank, where we want to ensure regeneration and growth benefits all the city’s residents,” added Councillor Richard Lewis, Leeds City Council’s executive member for regeneration, transport and planning.

Novus Property Solutions and The Guinness Partnership

A fantastic new deal has been struck between maintenance provider Novus Property Solutions and The Guinness Partnership in order to help the company to improve the condition of some land development area located in Stockport. The Guinness Partnership is a very well-respected housing firm that will need to use the services provided by Novus in order to enable it to refurbish and improve the conditions of the outside of a number of its residential apartments in the area of Stockport. In providing fantastic social housing all across the United Kingdom, The Guinness Partnership are very pleased that they are able to provide their services towards building more social properties for the less well off of this society that are being hit the hardest by the government’s cutting of council funds and investments all over the various areas of the country. Of course, this is not the only time that The Guinness Partnership has had to deal with Novus Property Solutions, and the two business bodies have collaborated in the past to wonderful effect, demonstrating the bonds between businesses that can make life for investors and owners much easier than when they are constantly competing with each other. As Gary Taylor of The Guinness Partnership who will be surveying the Stockport project explains, it is evident that the two companies have a long-standing amicable relationship. Indeed, The Guinness Partnership were impressed by Novus’ work ethic when it successfully completed a refurbishment job on the former’s Manchester base back in January 2015. Through the successful and subsequent completion of this job, they were very pleased to declare that they were once again committing themselves to using the services of Novus to ensure that the redevelopment of their Stockport social housing assets would go as smoothly and as productively as the last project had done. It is clear that the friendly relations between the two companies put them in a good collaborative relationship that will last for a long time to come.
