Architect completes trio of city residential projects

A design practice has completed work on £100 million-plus city residential schemes.

RG+P has completed Arbour, Park Square and Bletchley View, in Milton Keynes.

Bosses say the build-to-rent schemes will “cater for a growing demand for sustainable family housing”.

RG+P worked alongside HG Living, HG Construction and PIC on Arbour; with Galliford Try and AIG on Park Square; and with Godwin Developments and Winvic Construction on Bletchley View.

The £80 million Arbour scheme has created 306 apartments on the site of former HMRC offices, with Park Square delivering 329 units on a derelict former garden centre, on Secklow Gate.

The £34.4 million Bletchley View project includes 172 apartments, 12 townhouses and three commercial units. 

Grant Giblett, architectural director at London, Birmingham and Leicester-based RG+P, said: “Each of the schemes was designed to set a new benchmark for rental living in Milton Keynes.

“They have delivered in excess of 800 mixed-tenure new homes while repurposing brownfield sites into positive contributions to the cityscape.

“The build-to-rent sector has the potential to play a significant role in addressing the housing shortage. 

“We are proud these developments have made such a significant contribution to Milton Keynes’ housing targets, and look forward to continuing to expand our build-to-rent expertise.”
