The residential developer's joint venture with APG (GRIP REIT) has agreed to forward fund the development and the site will be developed by National Regional Property Group, with P.M.C Construction selected to build the scheme.

"Southampton is a target location for Grainger and this scheme on East Street will deliver 132 new high quality, purpose built rental homes and will allow us to utilise our operational base in Hampshire and provide our customers with great service and a great property to live in."

Mike Harris, Director of Growth at Southampton City Council, said: "The development at East Street reinforces the importance of Southampton having a City Centre Master Plan. It gives developers the confidence to be part of the transformation of this part of the city centre, which is currently undergoing significant redevelopment.

"The provision of high quality apartments in the build to rent sector contributes to attracting and retaining talent in the city, which continues to drive the economic growth of Southampton. This £27m mixed-use regeneration project is a predominantly residential led scheme, adding to the city's emerging private rental sector offering."
