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.”

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.

]]>The development has delivered 167 high quality and sustainable homes, comprised of one and two bedroom apartments and townhouses, as well as new public realm, ground-floor commercial units, and communal outdoor spaces. It is Placefirst’s most sustainable development to-date, built with energy-efficient technologies including rooftop solar panels, heat pumps and enhanced insulation to help lower residents’ energy bills while contributing to a greener future for Bolton.
The completion of Deansgate Gardens underlines Placefirst’s continued commitment to delivering high-quality rental homes across the UK. It also represents the delivery of a key part of Bolton Council’s £1bn masterplan to regenerate the town centre, which will deliver modern housing, new workplaces, revitalised retail and leisure opportunities, green spaces, and improved connectivity.
Placefirst has worked closely with the council to deliver the scheme, ensuring that it aligns with local priorities and meets the demand for long-term, professionally managed and centrally located rental properties in the town.
Caddick acted as the main contractor for Deansgate Gardens, delivering the project in close collaboration with Placefirst and a team of expert consultants. Levitt Bernstein designed the scheme, alongside Walker Sime, CW Studio, Alan Johnston Partnership and Mackie Project Consultants.
Deansgate Gardens was built on a former commercial and retail site, which dates back to the Victorian era. The new development references the sites heritage, by retaining the name, and the ‘ginnel’ route linking Deansgate to the site of the former Chapel Alley.
The scheme was funded by Placefirst, along with a £22.6m loan contribution from the Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF).
Commenting on the completion, Phil Jones, Development Director of Placefirst, said: “The completion of Deansgate gardens marks not only an exciting step for our delivery of quality homes across the UK, but also an important milestone in the regeneration of Bolton. This development is a prime example of how we work collaboratively with our partners and local authorities to meet the growing demand for quality, long term rental homes, whilst contributing to local priorities.
“Working closely with Bolton Council on Deansgate Gardens has enabled us to deliver a scheme that aligns with Bolton’s wider ambitions, creates homes for local people, and that demonstrates the important role purpose-built rental communities can play in supporting wider urban renewal.”
Dave Saville, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction in North West comments: “Deansgate Gardens marks the second scheme built by Caddick and delivered for Placefirst, with the handover of 122 new homes at the Bolt Works scheme in Halifax earlier in the summer. Both Bolt Works and the newly completed Deansgate Gardens have proven what’s possible when underutilised brownfield sites are reimagined with the community at the heart. It has been a pleasure to work with Placefirst, who share our ambition to create only the highest quality homes for local people. Sustainability and collaboration were embedded from the outset and have ensured a robust design and build process and we’re pleased to have now officially handed over Deansgate Gardens to Placefirst and to have welcomed the first residents.
Cllr Nick Peel, Leader of Bolton Council, added: “Deansgate Gardens is central to the ongoing regeneration of Bolton as we reimagine our town centre and transform our local economy.
“As consumers move away from physical retail, vibrant urban developments like this are the basis of a new model providing the right mix of leisure, hospitality and employment space, alongside traditional shopping.
“As we shape our local plan, this development offers the perfect example of how we can meet our housing targets by delivering quality homes on brownfield land.
“As employers across the borough look to attract new talent to Bolton, Deansgate Gardens will be an important ‘pull factor’, offering quality facilities, town centre living, and excellent transport links.”

]]>The post Sports wheelchair donation helps Newcastle man train for Great North Run appeared first on Placefirst Latest News.
]]>Paul Stephens, 67, who had his lower left leg amputated in December 2022, received the wheelchair through the Newcastle-based Healthworks charity, which purchased it with the help of a £700 donation from homebuilder Lovell and rental property developer Placefirst.
The two companies are working in partnership to deliver 146 energy-efficient rental homes at Benwell Dene, off Delaval Road in the West End of the city.
They each gave £350 to the Healthworks charity, which works with communities across the North East on outreach projects to improve health, wellbeing and life outcomes regardless of the challenges people face.
Healthworks Senior Manager of Health Promotion, Julie Stephens, who is also Paul’s wife, thanked the North East region of Lovell and Placefirst for getting involved.
Julie said: “It’s lovely that they are in the local community and that they want to help. And it’s great when local grassroots charities have some help and assistance, because you can really see what’s been bought and how it has helped.”
The wheelchair has made a big difference as Paul trained for the Great North Run because it is much lighter than a traditional wheelchair. He also trains on a treadmill using his prosthetic limb.
Paul will be part of a 12-person Healthworks team taking part in the event on Sunday 7 September and he intends to complete as much as he can on foot, only using the wheelchair when required.
He said: “Running a half marathon has always been something I wanted to do, but life had other plans. A few years ago, I had to undergo a lower leg amputation, which changed everything. However, it never took away my determination. Now, more than ever, I’m ready to take on this challenge – my way.
“With the incredible support of my team, who will be giving me a push in my wheelchair along the way, and the amazing encouragement from the gym team at Healthworks, I’m training harder than ever. Having recently received my new leg, this journey is about proving to myself – and to others – that no obstacle is too big when you have the right support.”
The team, including Paul, are raising money for Useful Vision which supports children with visual impairments, and which came under the Healthworks umbrella in January.
Healthworks, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, offers a range of health and wellbeing services and education for people of all ages and abilities.
As part of the growing relationship between the North East region of Lovell and Healthworks, the homebuilder carried out volunteering work for the charity earlier this year.
Phil Jones, Head of Land and Partnerships at the North East region of Lovell, who is also taking part in the Great North Run as part of a Lovell team raising money for Oasis Community Housing, said: “Paul is inspirational in his determination to achieve this long-held ambition, despite going through amputation, and we hope the sports wheelchair has helped him.
“Healthworks is a life-changing organisation making a big difference to communities and individuals by working to reduce health inequality, so it is an excellent cause for us to support locally.
“Good luck to Paul and the whole Healthworks team taking part in the Great North Run this weekend. I will see you there!”
