Samlet Road development nominated for Inside Housing Development Award

Published on 23 July 2024

We’re delighted to announce that our Samlet Road development in Swansea has been nominated for the Best Build to Rent Development at the Inside Housing Development Awards.

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: “I know I speak for everyone at LoCaL Homes when I say what a privilege it is to be working with Castell and Caredig to deliver 35 new, social homes in Swansea.

“This project stands out as a prime example of innovative construction and sustainable development. By utilising our ECO150 insulated timber frames, which are manufactured in our award-winning factory, we are helping to streamline the construction process and minimise environmental impact. Future occupants of the new homes will feel the benefit of reduced fuel bills.

“Our team is incredibly proud of this recognition, which underscores our dedication to excellence and sustainability in housing development.”

The winners of the Inside Housing Development Awards will be announced on Friday 27 September 2024 at the Royal Lancaster in London.
