"We are looking forward to working with them in what will be one of the biggest housing regeneration projects the city has seen.

"One of the consortium's strengths is its approach to delivering local labour and creating apprenticeship opportunities. This is key objective for the council in delivering the aspirations of creating jobs and training outlined in Hull's 10-year City Plan.

"The council recognises that the quality of its residential offer is a key factor in helping the economic performance of the city as well as producing good quality homes to meet future housing needs."
