Places for People Living Plus has held a topping out ceremony for Spinnaker View extra care community in Gosport.
Spinnaker View is set to complete in Spring 2023 and will offer people aged 55 and over with special care and support needs 60 new homes for affordable rent with onsite care services commissioned by Hampshire County Council.
Places for People Living Plus celebrated the milestone with partners Gosport Borough Council, Hampshire County Council, Lovell Later Living, and Morgan Sindall Construction, alongside Mayor Jamie Hutchinson and other local representatives.
Andy Lomas, communities MD at Places for People, said: “We are delighted to have reached this construction milestone – it is testament to the progress being made at this new community.
“Spinnaker View is the latest high-quality addition to our successful extra care partnership with Lovell Later Living – a collaboration that will see a total of 164 homes delivered by the end of next year. Each well-planned, well-designed community offers sustainable and safe homes for customers who wish to remain independent, while benefitting from care and support, when needed.”
Hampshire Councillor Liz Fairhurst said: “I am delighted to see this brilliant Extra Care development in the heart of Gosport begin to take shape. Meeting the needs of our older residents is crucial and many will be searching for the right type of accommodation for their later years where they can continue living independently, but with the added reassurance that care and support is available 24/7.”
Clifford Kinch, area director at Morgan Sindall Construction, added: “We are delighted to reach this milestone and look forward to continuing our social value commitment and engaging with the community. People have been at the heart of this development from design through to construction and we’re proud to play a part in delivering high-quality, safe homes which will promote independent living for people aged 55 and over.”
