Samlet Road development has been recognised in the Best Build to Rent Development category

We’re delighted to announce that our Samlet Road development in Swansea has been highly commended for the Best Build to Rent Development at the Inside Housing Development Awards! The awards took place on Friday 27 September at the Royal Lancaster in London.

This prestigious recognition highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable housing solutions in partnership with Castell Group and housing association Caredig.

Samlet Road is transforming the former site of a car dealership into 35 high-quality, EPC-A rated social homes. The development features a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, as well as two- and three-bedroom houses, catering to a variety of local housing needs. Each home is designed to a high standard and specification, with sustainable features aimed at reducing energy costs for tenants.

Mike Doolan, our Sales and Partnerships Manager said: “Our team is incredibly proud of this recognition, which underscores our dedication to excellence and sustainability in housing development.

“On behalf of everyone at LoCaL Homes, I can say it’s a true privilege to be collaborating with Castell and Caredig in delivering 35 new social homes in Swansea.

“This project is a standout example of innovative construction and sustainable development. By using our ECO150 insulated timber frames, produced in our award-winning factory, we’re streamlining the construction process while reducing environmental impact. Future residents will also enjoy the benefit of lower energy bills.”

Well done to everyone working on this project!
