What's new: schemes under development
The Society aims to build 40 new homes each year.
The present development programme includes a bungalow in Baldock Way Cambridge and 21 two bedroom flats at Wulfstan Way Cambridge. Work started in January 2007 and are being built to a wheelchair standard. They are designed for people of 55 or above and completion is due in February 2008.
During 2005 we built 13 new homes at Wulfstan Way Cambridge and Seymour Street. These included eight flats for elderly people with mental health problems.
We are keen to work with developers and landowners to provide new affordable homes. On Section 106 sites we can offer very high standards of management and maintenance.
In February 2007 we acquired six properties at Haynes Owen Place in Papworth and also took on the management of 14 properties for bpha in Cromwell Road, Cambridge.
We employ a team of caretakers who provide first class grounds maintenance and caretaking services. All of our main developments have the appearance and standard of high quality private developments, with no discernible difference between rented and owned properties.
Work has now started on 282 new affordable homes at Arbury Park on the northern fringe of Cambridge. A consortium comprising Places for People, bpha, The Papworth Trust and King Street Housing Society will develop and manage these new homes. King Street will be managing properties on behalf of bpha.
