The post First Family Homes Now Available To Rent At Our Benwell Dene Neighbourhood In Newcastle appeared first on Placefirst Latest News.
]]>
These homes are the first to launch at Benwell Dene, a professionally managed rental community located off Delaval Road, just two miles from Newcastle city centre. The neighbourhood will eventually feature 146 high-quality, energy-efficient homes set among green spaces and open areas, creating a welcoming environment for families, couples and individuals looking for a thoughtfully designed home in a well-connected area.
Each home offers spacious layouts, contemporary interiors and energy-efficient features designed to help reduce day-to-day household bills. Air source heat pumps, solar panels and enhanced insulation have been incorporated throughout, helping to ensure homes are comfortable, sustainable and cost-effective to run. Every home also comes with its own electric vehicle charging point, alongside access to a resident car club, making it easier for residents to choose lower-carbon travel. The neighbourhood includes attractive communal gardens and individual terraces for each home, offering a balance of shared green space and private outdoor areas to relax and unwind.
Opening alongside the first homes, the new community hub will provide a welcoming space for residents and a central place to access support as the new neighbourhood takes shape. It will also be the base for the on-site Resident Services Manager, ensuring help is close at hand for residents as they move in.
Once complete, Benwell Dene will also feature landscaped streets, communal green spaces and open areas designed for residents to relax and socialise. Views across the Tyne Valley will enhance the sense of openness and connection to the wider landscape, while dedicated areas for biodiversity will help support local wildlife and improve the natural environment.
The new homes benefit from excellent transport connections, with Newcastle city centre accessible in around 10 minutes by road and 14 minutes by public transport. Residents are also close to local schools, shops and parks, making Benwell Dene an ideal location for family living.
Unlike traditional private renting, residents at Benwell Dene benefit from Placefirst’s professional in-house management service, including a dedicated Resident Services Manager and responsive maintenance team.
Benwell Dene forms part of the wider transformation of Newcastle's West End, which is bringing new homes and green spaces to the area. Placefirst is already part of this growing community through its nearby neighbourhood of 40 homes at The Rise, and is continuing its commitment to providing high-quality homes for renters in Newcastle.
Anna Malone, Head of Lettings, at Placefirst, said: “We’re pleased to be launching the first homes at Benwell Dene and look forward to welcoming our first residents to this new neighbourhood in Newcastle’s West End. These homes have been designed to offer space, quality and energy efficiency, giving renters a comfortable and well-connected place to live. This is just the beginning for Benwell Dene, and we’re looking forward to seeing the neighbourhood grow into a thriving place to live with a strong sense of community.”

Placefirst has agreed two forward-funded deals with housebuilder Vistry to deliver 44 new single-family rental homes at Kidlington, Oxford and 80 at Norwood Farm, Northampton.
The transactions represent Placefirst’s second and third partnerships with Vistry following the announcement earlier this year of a deal to deliver 139 homes in Mansfield.
In Oxford, the 44-home scheme, due to complete in June 2026, will comprise a mix of high quality three- and four- bed rental houses with a GDV of £26 million. They form part of Vistry’s wider 370 home mixed-tenure masterplan at Kidlington, which is being delivered in collaboration with Cherwell District Council, and will also include new allotments, public open space, play areas and a sports pitch.
The deal marks Placefirst’s entry into the Oxford market and is located in the in-demand centre of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc’s growing science and tech economy; it denotes a further milestone in its national expansion.
Placefirst and Vistry’s Northampton development, which is due to complete between October 2026 and September 2027, will comprise 22 two-bedroom, 47 three-bedroom and 11 four-bedroom rental houses with a GDV of £29 million.
The homes will form a considerable part of the wider Western Gate community at the Norwood Farm Sustainable Urban Extension (SUE), a major new mixed-use development which is set to deliver 1,900 new homes across a range of tenures, alongside shops, cafés, healthcare centres, a new primary school, public open spaces and children’s play areas.
For both schemes, Placefirst will provide end-to-end support to residents by managing the lettings process, handling all aspects of property management and ensuring a high standard of customer service with a dedicated resident services manager.
The partnership between the two companies underlines their mutual commitment to collaboration as a means of building at scale and tackling the UK’s housing shortage across multiple regions.
Henry Marshall, Investment Director at Placefirst, commented: “Our continued collaboration with Vistry is enabling us to deliver high-quality single-family rental homes in some of the UK’s most high-demand, supply-starved markets. At both Kidlington and Norwood Farm, the deals to fund a total of 124 homes represent a rare opportunity to ensure that purpose-built rental housing forms an integral part of a community’s housing mix from the outset.
We have chosen to work with Vistry as they share our ethos of building sustainable, lasting communities, and our firm belief in the power of partnerships such as these to accelerate the delivery of well-designed, expertly constructed homes where they are most needed.”
Andrew Harvey, Managing Director of Vistry South Central Midlands, said: “It’s fantastic to be extending our partnership with Placefirst. Both deals at Oxford and Northampton demonstrate our shared commitment to creating inclusive, high-quality communities that meet a wide range of housing needs.”

The appointment will see Caddick build a new development of 165 homes, comprising a mix of townhouses and apartments. The development will be the second new neighbourhood under Sunderland City Council’s Riverside Sunderland Masterplan to deliver 1,000 new homes in the city centre.
Delivered from Caddick’s Durham offices at Belmont Business Park, Farringdon Row adds to the contractor’s growing North East portfolio as it increases its focus on a regional project pipeline.
Farringdon Row adds to Caddick’s work on behalf of Placefirst following the completion of BTR schemes in the North West and Yorkshire. These include Deansgate Gardens in Bolton and Bolt Works in Halifax.
Steve Ford, Regional Managing Director, Caddick Construction North East & Yorkshire, commented: “We’re very proud to be continuing our strong partnership with Placefirst on this exciting new build-to-rent scheme in Sunderland. Following the successful delivery of Bolt Works and Deansgate Gardens, our appointment to Farringdon Row reflects the quality, trust and shared vision we’ve built together. We are privileged to play a role in the regeneration of Sunderland, creating high-quality homes and thriving communities for local people.”
Phil Jones, Development Director at Placefirst said: “Farringdon Row is an exciting addition to our growing portfolio and reflects our commitment to creating quality homes designed for long-term living in Sunderland. By working closely with Caddick Construction, we’re proud to be supporting Sunderland City Council’s ambitious Riverside regeneration plans and bringing new energy to the heart of the city’s waterfront.
“Our partnership with Caddick has gone from strength to strength through several successful projects. Now, Farringdon Row will play a key role in continuing to improve the standard of city centre living in Sunderland, through high quality, sustainable homes and green spaces.”
Cllr Kevin Johnston, Cabinet Member for Housing, Business and Regeneration at Sunderland City Council, said: “Farringdon Row is key to ensuring we achieve our goal of increasing the number of people living in Sunderland city centre by over 2,500 people over the course of the next decade, so it’s fantastic news that a contractor has been appointed to deliver the scheme.
“Both Caddick Construction and Placefirst have proven track records of building and delivering high-quality, built-to-rent urban housing developments, so we are excited to be partnering with them to transform this city centre site into a stunning new community that will have stunning views across the river and riverside park.
“It will help fill the gap for much-needed rental housing while also providing a major boost to the high street, bringing footfall from residents, and encouraging more businesses to relocate here. It is yet another huge milestone for Riverside Sunderland, a place that is now widely recognised as being among the UK’s most ambitious and exciting city centre regeneration projects.”

]]>Representing a significant step in diversifying Derby’s city centre housing, the £22m agreement marks a regional first for Lovell, which will continue its longstanding delivery role at Castleward. Placefirst has acquired the site from Compendium Living, comprising houses and three apartment blocks across two parcels of land.
Phase four of Castleward will see the development of 33 single-family houses as well as 79 apartments. The first handovers will be in Q1 in 2026. The strategic partnership with Placefirst enables Lovell to build on its reputation as a partnership facilitator of market choice – with fully serviced BTR homes offered through Placefirst for this phase.
Beth Bundonis, regional managing director at Lovell in the East Midlands, said: “Our vital work to create purposeful communities and bring forward effective housing in the East Midlands continues, with phase four – and the forthcoming phase five – adding to the vital regeneration of Derby and creating a lasting legacy built around top-quality housing.
“This deal allows us to broaden the scope of what’s being delivered in Castleward and is a first for Lovell in the East Midlands, helping to solidify us as an enabler of housing choice for the fantastic partners we work with. Through those such as Placefirst and Compendium Living – the latter of which has sold homes under the previous three phases – we’re able to make sure that whether they are looking to rent or buy, people can find a new home at Castleward.”
Located between Derbion shopping centre and Derby Midlands Station, the £100m Castleward scheme is the most significant housing project in the city and is set to deliver around 800 new homes along with green space and 35,000 square feet of commercial retail space by its total completion.
Henry Marshall, investment director at Placefirst, said: “This latest partnership with Lovell marks an exciting milestone for Placefirst as we continue to grow our presence in the East Midlands – a region with huge demand for high-quality, sensitively-designed rental homes in well-connected, vibrant locations.
“This forward-funded deal is a great example of how we work flexibly with partners to unlock opportunities and bring long-term, professionally managed homes to market – just one a number of delivery models we employ. As a developer-operator specialising in the delivery of high-quality, sustainable homes for rent, we know that the modern renter now sees renting as a positive, long-term, hassle-free lifestyle choice. We’re proud to be delivering the kind of homes and neighbourhoods that meet those evolving expectations.”
The fourth phase of work at Castleward was given the green light by planners in May 2023. It sits alongside existing multi-tenure developments in the area and forms part of a broader ambition to reflect an evolving market that includes both affordable and market-rate housing options. Phase five is expected to come to the fore soon, continuing momentum of the large-scale development towards overall completion in 2027.

Marking the first private sector joint venture for Placefirst, partnership remains a key element of the firm’s growth strategy across the UK, as it seeks quality housebuilders that can deliver at scale and speed without compromising on Placefirst’s commitment to long-term value and sustainability for its residents.
The partnership will begin with the pair delivering 128 homes at Strata’s ‘Desire’ development near Thorpe Park, Leeds.
The homes will be built using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), enabling them to be delivered significantly faster and more sustainably than traditional building approaches, ensuring they enter the rental market quickly to meet rising demand. Timber’s superior thermal insulation compared to steel or concrete will help reduce energy costs for residents, resulting in an EPC B rating and enhancing long-term affordability and comfort.
With completion scheduled for May 2025, the agreement will see Placefirst manage and maintain a mix of two-bedroom townhouses in addition to three- and four-bedroom semi-detached homes. It marks Placefirst’s second neighbourhood in Leeds, after Cross Heath Grove in the south of the city.
Positioned just five miles outside of Leeds City centre, future residents of this new development will benefit from balancing the vibrancy and convenience of city living and the greenery of the countryside nearby, with Temple Newsam and Roundhay Park just a 10- and 15-minute drive away respectively. Additionally, with Crossgates railway station and the M1 nearby, these homes offer great connectivity to wider Leeds and beyond.
KPMG Corporate Finance advised Strata, and the framework agreement has already identified a further 221 homes for delivery across the UK.
Anna Hwang, Chief Investment Officer of Placefirst, said: “Our ambition to deliver more quality homes across the UK comes down to a simple belief: renters deserve better. For too long, poor-quality housing with unstable tenancies has been the norm in the UK’s rental market. We know the only way to solve this problem is deliver more expertly-built, professionally-operated rental homes – whether through building them ourselves or through collaborative partnerships.
“This partnership with Strata is one such example and represents an important step forward in our mission. Combining our expertise, we can deliver sustainable homes at scale faster than ever before. Through our shared commitment to creating places where residents don’t just live but thrive, we will deliver a homeowner-quality living experience for our renters.
“With over a decade of placemaking experience, we understand the importance for residents to feel settled and put down roots. By prioritising creating neighbourhoods with a mix of home sizes, such as the first tranche of this partnership, we will continue to create places where our residents can thrive long-term, supporting them at every stage of their life.”
Gemma Smith, Chief Executive Officer at Strata, said: “This partnership with Placefirst is a natural progression for Strata as we continue evolving to become an innovative multi tenure home builder. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to live in a home that is beautifully designed, build to high quality and energy efficient, whether buying or renting.
We have designed a collection of homes for the single-family rental market, retaining the signature Strata style inside and out. We have worked with Placefirst to carefully consider the internal specification and ensure the homes offer everything a resident will be hoping for.
We see it as our role to create communities that will in turn improve the lives of generations to come. By joining forces, we can expand this vision and not only deliver more high-quality homes in areas of need, but use our combined experience to ensure our developments retain a strong sense of community and meet the needs of residents today and in the future.”

]]>
We've started development on our 146-home build-to-rent neighbourhood in Newcastle as we continue to grow our North East portfolio and tackle the region’s housing challenges head-on.
Benwell Dene, located around two miles west of Newcastle city centre, will deliver a variety of high quality two, three and four-bedroom homes available for long-term rent. Following the granting of planning permission last year, the project involves the redevelopment of a 2.75ha brownfield site in the city which has been vacant for well over a decade.
The homes will be built to a high specification, with a focus on energy efficiency, ensuring residents’ bills are kept as low as possible. All homes will achieve a minimum of EPC B.
This project is part-funded by the £49m North East Combined Authority Brownfield Housing Fund, part of the national ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government £400m Brownfield Housing Fund.
Lovell has been appointed to deliver the development.
The 146 homes delivered at Benwell Dene will help to address the chronic lack of quality housing in the North East.
In partnership with JM Architects and Southern Green, the design of the neighbourhood was carefully considered to respond to local distinctiveness and character and include open space alongside safe and attractive walking routes through the development for the benefits of residents and the wider public.
Other key members of the project team include civil and structural engineers, Curtins, project managers and planning consultants Identity Consult, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing consultants, TACE.
The new neighbourhood at Benwell Dene will add to Placefirst’s portfolio of 1,800 homes across the country and mark a significant step forward in its growth ambitions.
David Mawson, CEO of Placefirst, said: "The plans for our Benwell Dene neighbourhood exemplify how effective local partnerships are the first step in delivering thriving communities. The development is at the cutting edge of integrating sustainable features and community-focused amenities to create an inclusive environment. After working closely with Newcastle City Council to secure prime brownfield land and gain planning consent, today’s milestone will see us deliver 146 new homes that are tailored to the specific needs of the area.”
“At Placefirst, we are aligned with the goals of central government and local authorities in addressing the growing housing demand not only in the North East of England, but across the UK. This development is a crucial step in fostering effective public-private partnerships to meet our shared goals.”
Dame Norma Redfearn DBE, Cabinet member for Housing and Land at the North East Combined Authority and Mayor of North Tyneside Council, said:
“The North East is in desperate need of more family homes of all tenures, and we’re making the most of unused and unloved brownfield land to create beautiful new places to live. The Combined Authority is working hard with our partners to get spades in the ground to deliver good quality housing for local people, and create communities with amenities that people need and which stand the test of time. Benwell Dene is an example of this in action and I’m delighted to see the progress on this vital development. We have ambitions to go further and faster to unlock more vibrant places across the North East for people to live.”
Councillor Paula Maines, Newcastle City Council Cabinet Member for a Living City, said: “The Benwell Dene development will be a fantastic contribution to the local area. Ensuring our city has good quality housing in thriving communities is a priority for us and we’re proud to be able to support this project that will provide so many new family homes. Bringing unused land back into use like we are doing at Benwell Dene will not only create a new housing offer in the area through the provision of high quality private rented homes, but also complements the wider regeneration of Scotswood and we’re excited to see this come to life as work progresses.”

TOWN revealed the residential-led plans for the Nile + Villiers community in March this year, which will breathe new life into the historic heart of the Sunniside area of the city centre.
Centrepiece of a wider place strategy developed over the last 18 months, the development project will transform the vacant site in Sunniside into a creative and cultural hub.
A key site as part of Sunderland’s City Plan, the development will bring a residential population back into the city centre, offering high-quality homes and vibrant city life.
Of those 75 homes being built, award-winning single-family housing developer-operator, Placefirst will forward fund the delivery of 65 dwellings which will see them own and manage the homes upon completion in 2026. The remaining 10 properties will be sold to local buyers.
The project, which was conceived with local community organisation Back on the Map working with TOWN and Create Streets, is supported by over £4 million of the previous government’s Levelling-Up Fund investment. TOWN has worked with a design team led by Xsite Architecture to prepare the scheme proposals.
Cllr Kevin Johnston, portfolio holder for housing, regeneration and business at Sunderland City Council, said: “It is fantastic to see work pressing ahead on the development of the Nile + Villiers community.
“The new homes, as well as the commercial and community units, will provide a significant economic boost to the local area and play a key role in helping us meet our ambitious housing targets.”
The project will feature a mix of two- and three-bedroom houses and duplexes echoing the historic fabric and grain of the site, a community energy microgrid providing residents with clean affordable energy, and shared gardens for residents. A new mixed-use building will recreate the frontage to High Street West and ensure the scheme is sensitively integrated within the Old Sunderland Conservation Area.
David Mawson, CEO of Placefirst, said: “Once complete, Nile + Villiers will be a key element in the regeneration of Sunderland, and as developer-operators, we understand the crucial role that quality and secure housing plays in any ambitious city undergoing transformation.
“In partnership with TOWN and Sunderland City Council, the scheme will see the delivery of high-quality housing solutions in the right area to meet local housing needs. Alongside our people-first approach to renting, our professionally managed homes will ensure that the evolving needs of tenants are met, as Sunderland prepares to welcome many residents back to the city centre.”
A design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) approach is being adopted to ensure construction is affordable, high-quality and generates opportunities for local workers and suppliers. The site, three blocks east of Sunderland station, will be cycle and pedestrian friendly in keeping with the Council’s low carbon and active travel objectives.
Construction is expected to start later in 2024 with the first properties likely to be occupied in 2026.

Following completion of the development in spring 2025, Placefirst will then commence letting, operating and maintaining the properties, adding to its growing portfolio of professionally managed rental homes in the North East.
Just 10 minutes from Newcastle city centre, and with the Metrocentre just over the river, residents at The Rise will benefit from the great connectivity to the wider city.
This latest deal marks the growth of Placefirst’s award-winning portfolio of neighbourhoods in the North East, as completion will see The Rise join Scholars View in Hetton-le-Hole, The Green in Hartlepool and The Oaks in Esh Winning, Durham.
Placefirst’s presence in the region is also set to increase further, as it launches a public consultation for the Farringdon Row scheme, developed in partnership with Sunderland City Council, as part of the second phase of the city’s Riverside Masterplan.
David Mawson, CEO of Placefirst, said: “Whether it's developing schemes from scratch, agreeing forward funding deals, or working in partnership with local housebuilders and local authorities, accelerating the growth of our portfolio is key to meeting our commitment to increasing the number of high-quality rental options for communities in the North East and beyond.
“However, simply building homes with no regard to design or purpose will do little to solve the housing crisis – the country is facing a shortage of housing quality as well as capacity. As we continue to expand our portfolio with this latest deal with Keepmoat and New Tyne Wes

New development adds to Placefirst's existing 107 homes near coastal town's promenade
Award-winning build-to-rent developer Placefirst has today announced the official name for its £4.5m scheme in Morecambe.
The newly named Bay Mill, on Bold Street, will deliver 42 high-quality rental homes with a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments.
Set to complete in June 2024, the first residents are expected to start moving into their new homes ready for summer.
The development will provide 42 much-needed new rental homes to the seaside town, which is already home to Placefirst’s 107-home West End neighbourhood.
Bay Mill, located just a stone’s throw away from the famous seafront, takes its name from the stunning coastal views of Morecambe Bay and draws on the site’s history as the location of one of Lancashire’s famous mills.
The development has been designed to deliver beautifully designed, energy efficient homes, and will feature residents parking, bike storage, electric vehicle charging points and solar panels, while also delivering landscaping and planting along Bold Street.
Rental prices for the apartments at Bay Mill start from £699 per calendar month, and those keen on securing one can register their interest now, via Placefirst’s website.
David Mawson, CEO of Placefirst, said: “Just as we raised the bar with our West End scheme in 2016, so too will we set a high standard for renting in Morecambe with the completion of Bay Mill.
“We are experts in designing and delivering quality homes for rent, that complement the needs of the areas in which we operate. Our objective is always to establish sustainable new communities that enhance people's wellbeing and instil a sense of pride in their local area.
“We are working at pace to finalise Bay Mill and look forward to welcoming the first new residents this summer.”

]]>● Award-winning build-to-rent specialist Placefirst releases new images of Deansgate Gardens
● Project will deliver 167 high-quality, sustainable new homes for long-term private rental
● Development forms part of Bolton Council’s £1bn masterplan to transform the town centre
● The scheme demonstrates Placefirst’s continued commitment to the North West
Newly released images have revealed how a multi-million-pound development will “completely transform” Bolton town centre.
The computer-generated images have been unveiled by award-winning build-to-rent (BTR) developer Placefirst and depict its new £35m scheme, which has today been officially named as Deansgate Gardens.
The development, located opposite the former Beales department store and a stone’s throw from Bolton’s Town Hall, will deliver 167 new high-quality, sustainable homes for long-term private rent, as well as extensive public realm and commercial space.
The name Deansgate Gardens takes inspiration from the area’s vibrant heritage and reputation as a major commercial, retail and social hub during the 19th century. Placefirst also consulted with not only Bolton Council, but also members of the public to receive input into the name, during the summer’s hugely successful Bolton Food and Drink Festival.
David Mawson, CEO at Placefirst, commented: “These stunning new images of Deansgate Gardens offer a new look into our first contribution towards a bright and brilliant future for Bolton town centre.
“We are immensely proud to be delivering such a transformative scheme, one which will deliver a community of much-needed new quality rental homes right in the heart of Bolton town centre.
“As placemaking specialists, our goal is always to create sustainable new neighbourhoods that people benefit from and take pride in – and we will achieve just that with Deansgate Gardens.”
The Deputy Leader of Bolton City Council, Cllr Akhtar Zaman, said: “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Placefirst on this transformative scheme. Attracting more people to live in the town centre is a key part of our regeneration strategy, and building quality long-term rental properties like Deansgate Gardens will help us achieve this goal.
“The new name reflects the important heritage of this particular site, which will once again become a bustling and vibrant neighbourhood in the town centre.
“The latest images show how impressive the finished development will be, complementing the many other projects which are transforming Bolton into and even better place to live, work and visit.”
Placefirst worked with award-winning architect Levitt Bernstein and landscape architect CW Studio to design the 1.1-hectare scheme.
Construction began in March this year at the site, which was previously home to a car park and several disused buildings.
Building works are now well underway to transform the brownfield site into a vibrant new neighbourhood with rooftop terraces, resident gardens and courtyards.
Designed with the local community in mind, the neighbourhood will also include ground-floor commercial spaces, a spacious central square, communal green areas and pedestrian-led spaces.
Deansgate Gardens is projected for completion in summer 2025, with Placefirst remaining on-site to oversee the management and maintenance of the neighbourhood with professional in-house teams.
The scheme forms a central component to Bolton Council's £1bn masterplan to transform the town centre by blending high-quality buildings and carefully designed public spaces.
