Construction News Image
Farrans Construction has been selected to develop a new £50 million building that will see the realisation of a senior living village in Bedfordshire.

The extensive development will be built on the site of the former leisure centre in Flitwick and will include a 72-bed care home, 8-bed short stay unit and 88 independent living apartments for the over 55s.

The core building is designed by architects, Oliver and Robb and will meet dementia-friendly guidelines and the best of energy performance standards, known as Passivhaus, to deliver the healthiest of environments and help reduce the Council's energy demands in the future.

Work on the site is due to start in February 2022 with the care home and independent living apartments due to complete in Autumn 2023.

Cathal Montague, Regional Director at Farrans, said: "We are looking forward to beginning work on site in early 2022 and continuing to build on our strong relationship with Central Bedfordshire Council, as they progress with the agenda to deliver future-proof, high quality residential facilities for older people. We have recently started construction on Marigold House in Leighton Buzzard and we are approaching completion on Hendon Hall for Signature Living. Our team will be bringing our expertise and knowledge of the senior living sector to Steppingley Road older persons’ village, meeting dementia-friendly guidelines and incorporating the highest standards of sustainability to achieve Passivhaus accreditation."
