ESH Group Strengthens Housing Pipeline
ESH Group has developed its portfolio of housing with 468 new homes under construction and a pipeline worth £90 million.
The company currently has seven live sites across Yorkshire, providing homes for Great Places Housing Group, Barnsley Council and Akkeri Developments.
Several developments are nearing completion such as a 44-home project on behalf of Sheffield Housing Company. In addition to an 82-home scheme in Castleford for Leeds Federated Housing Association and WDH. Both sites are expected to be complete before August 2023.
In Halifax, ESH is behind a development to replace three tower blocks with 106 rental properties. The scheme is a partnership between ESH and Together Housing group. It was named Large Residential Development of the Year at the 2022 Insider Yorkshire Property Industry Awards.
Commenting on their progress, Simon Woodward, Operations Director at ESH Construction, said: "The injection of Government investment in this sector coupled with a target to build 180,000 new homes through the Affordable Homes Programme into 2026 has opened up major opportunities across our region.
"Our teams and partners have worked tirelessly to build high quality homes for our clients through the traditional tendering process, in addition to bringing forward land for development through our land led solution.
"Achieving this against a backdrop of material shortages and rising costs due to inflationary pressures has been no mean feat."
Reflecting on the company's success, Laura Devaney, land and partnerships director, said: "We are immensely proud to highlight the success of land led projects throughout the region in recent months with a £25 million scheme in Bridlington recently submitted for planning.
"A land led approach alleviates a lot of work for providers, and instead allows them to focus on weighing up site viability for location, rent and sales purposes, while we focus on technical detail and design. Each party focuses on their own expertise and marrying the two together can bring greater success.
"Esh is one of just a small number of contractors in the UK who can apply for grants under the current Homes England Affordable Homes Programme 2021-26, therefore we can support registered providers with funding as part of the land led process."
