Work has been completed on a £15.5m Housing 21 Extra Care living scheme Faringdon, Oxfordshire.
Housing 21 welcomed members of the local community and development partners to an open day at Fern Meadows to celebrate the completion of the development.
Midlands-based Deeley Construction completed the scheme for Housing 21, marking the fourth development completed by the partnership.
The new apartments and communal facilities are designed to support independent living for people over the age of 55. The development includes 60 one and two-bedroom apartments which are available for rent or shared ownership.
Darren Herbet, deputy head of Extra Care South at Housing 21, said: “Fern Meadows is a fantastic example of how Extra Care can empower older people to live independently, with the reassurance of support when needed.
“We’re proud to bring this much-needed scheme to Faringdon and to see such enthusiasm from the local community. The open day was a wonderful celebration of what Fern Meadows has to offer, and we look forward to welcoming our new residents.”
Steve Turner, construction director at Deeley Construction, said: “The community day was the perfect opportunity to celebrate the completion of our fourth development in partnership with Housing 21.
“It was brilliant to have the opportunity to speak to local people and hear about how valuable the scheme will be to the community.
“We’re proud to have delivered the all-electric, low-carbon scheme which will provide high-quality and sustainable homes for people in Faringdon.”
