Construction News Image
Freebridge Community Housing has chosen Lovell to deliver a four-year, £20.5 million estate regeneration programme in King's Lynn, Norfolk.

Lovell was selected through a detailed competitive tendering process after 13 companies expressed an interest in carrying out the scheme to transform Hillington Square.

The 1960s estate is set to be regenerated by plans developed by not-for-profit housing provider Freebridge with lead designers Hemingway Design – the company founded by Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway – and architects mae LLP in consultation with the local community.

The scheme involves the upgrading of all services for the estate's 320 flats with internal and external Decent Homes improvements including kitchen and bathroom replacements, improved insulation and window and door renewals. Lovell will also replace external cladding and rebuild balconies and walkways as well as building new staircases and installing secure entrances for each block of flats. New lifts will be installed and garages will be remodelled.

We are pleased that the project has been structured in a way that will enable the entire team to become actively involved in providing the best end result possible for all existing and future residents of Hillington Square and whilst doing so provide trading and employment opportunities for residents and businesses in King's Lynn."
