#SupportBlackBusiness - The Rainier Beach Redevelopment Local Loyalty Program The Rainier Beach High School redevelopment project is more than just a construction site; it catalyzes community revitalization. Through a unique Local Loyalty Program, construction workers are encouraged to support local businesses like Umami Kushi and Creamy Cone Cafe, fostering economic growth and strengthening community ties. "It's really us trying to invent a way to allow the project and the dollars being spent on the projects to be reinvested in the community we're in," explains Lydig Construction Senior Project Manager Patrick McGlothlin. By incentivizing workers to explore local shops and restaurants, the program ensures the project's positive impact is felt throughout Rainier Beach. This initiative showcases the importance of investing in local economies and building bridges between projects and the communities they serve. The Rainier Beach High School Redevelopment Project exemplifies how construction projects can create a lasting legacy beyond the physical structure. #LocalLoyalty #CommunityInvestment #RainierBeachRedevelopment #BuildTheBeach

𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐫 Keepmoat will transform a 22.9-acre brownfield site into a vibrant community with around 318 properties, including one to four-bedroom homes, affordable housing, and retirement dwellings, backed by a £65 million investment. This project, on a former school site closed over a decade ago, is set to revitalise the area with sustainable homes ready by winter 2026. Funding from the Homes England Accelerated Construction Programme enabled North East Lincolnshire Council to prepare the site, and Keepmoat has secured planning permission, pending a Section 106 agreement. Regional Land and Partnerships Director Ben Hindley emphasises the partnership with local authorities and housing associations, working closely with North East Lincolnshire Council and Ongo to deliver quality housing and boost the local economy. Councillor Philip Jackson highlights the importance of utilising brownfield sites to support sustainable community growth. Keepmoat is also developing Grimsby's Alexandra Docks, adding 130 homes and commercial spaces, demonstrating their commitment to enhancing community living. #makeahouseahome #housetoahome #homejourney #showusyournewbuild #CommunityEngagement https://lnkd.in/eeHxQffa

🌟 Successful Presentation at Hutton Cranswick Parish Council 🌟 Last night, we had the pleasure of presenting our proposed Passive House Development for Hutton Cranswick to the Parish Council. The session was incredibly engaging, with thoughtful questions and constructive feedback from the attendees. Key topics of discussion included: ▪️ Affordable Housing: Addressing the need for accessible, sustainable homes for all. ▪️ Housing for New Families: The potential to meet the housing needs of young families in the area. ▪️ Sustainable Design: Highlighting the energy efficiency and low-carbon benefits of Passive House standards. ▪️ Pricing: Ensuring the final properties are competitively priced for the market. 🏡 One important issue raised was the plot’s location outside the current development boundaries for Hutton Cranswick - The proposed development, while outside the current village development boundary, aligns with the Government's commitment to addressing the national housing shortage by delivering high-quality, sustainable homes. With a focus on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility, this project supports the push for more housing in rural areas, ensuring communities like Hutton Cranswick can grow sustainably and attract new families. We also discussed accessibility to the village, and we’re pleased to share our commitment to working with the Highways Agency to create a new footpath and cycle path connecting the development to the village, just 130 meters away. The next steps? We’re moving forward with the pre-planning application and look forward to collaborating with stakeholders to bring this exciting project to life. A big thank you to the Parish Council and everyone who attended for their time, insights, and support. This project represents a step forward in sustainable, community-focused housing, and we’re excited for what’s to come! #SustainableLiving #PassiveHouse #HuttonCranswick #GrayArchitecturalDesign #CommunityEngagement #GreenBuilding #FutureHomes #EastYorkshire

📣 HIPP responds to New Towns Taskforce 🏡 “We’ve committed to two major schemes, each delivering 10,000 homes at Harlow & Gilston Garden Town and Hemel Garden Communities. This builds on Hertfordshire’s 23-year high of successfully delivering the highest number of homes in 2024. “Hertfordshire has always been at the forefront of planning for growth, and these new developments showcase our commitment to sustainable living. As we continue to pioneer in this area, it's crucial that these homes are recognised as counting toward local plan numbers, not in addition to them. This approach ensures we maintain the trust and support of our community. “I welcome the opportunity to continue working together for a thriving Hertfordshire, ensuring that our residents and businesses continue to prosper in a well-planned, sustainable county, and play our role in the national growth mission.”   — Cllr Jeremy Newmark, HIPP Chair Read our full response 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCZGKQpp #NewTownsTaskforce #RightHomesRightPlaces #HertfordshireGrowth

We're pleased to be at the Building Garden Communities Conference today. Our Senior Researcher Hani Salih took part in an engaging discussion on the potential role of Build to Rent (BTR) development in Garden Towns. Here are some key insights that came up: - Richard B. highlighted how single-family housing can serve as a catalyst for diverse housing options within communities. - Jo Davis discussed the substantial £1.9 billion investment in single-family housing, emphasising its appeal for immediate occupancy and its potential to foster vibrant, legacy-driven communities. - David Reid underscored the potential of institutional ownership and management in ensuring the longevity and quality of BTR developments. - Eve Murzyn emphasised the importance of understanding local needs and engaging with local authorities from the outset to tailor BTR solutions to specific communities. - Hani Salih highlighted the significance of resident involvement and the integration of green spaces to foster community cohesion and a sense of belonging. It was suggested that BTR is a must-have because of the institutional capital it brings, its potential to create communities early on, and the possibilities it brings for providing a diverse mix of housing and tenure types and infrastructure. Plenty of food for thought, and we're looking forward to seeing how some of this plays out in the results of our current research into the social impact of BTR developments. #BuildToRent #GardenTowns #CommunityDevelopment #BTR #SocialImpact #Stewardship #UKHousing #ResidentialDevelopment
