A project milestone has been reached on a £10 million hostel redevelopment in Coventry.

Up to 20 new 'affordable' homes have been developed by Wates at the former Chace Hostel site, marking a major landmark in WM Housing Group's Willenhall development called Brooklands View.

The homes for the first phase of the development, which will feature a collection of 61 two, three and four-bedroom homes. Building work is now underway to deliver the second 41-home phase of Brooklands View.

Richard Shroll, Managing Director of Wates Residential North, said: "Adopting a partnership approach with WM Housing has enabled us to create a development that transforms this historic site and addresses local demand for new homes. Working collaboratively and pooling our expertise with WM Housing has not only resulted in a high level of quality and specification but it has also enabled us to work together to positively impact the local area through a variety of on-site training and employment initiatives."
