Vistry Group has agreed two separate development deals with Homes England to deliver a total of 1,000 new homes.
The group has been appointed to develop out the Birmingham City Hospital site and build 750 homes, with support from Birmingham City Council and Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust.
More than half will be affordable or private rent properties, with the remaining homes for open market sale.
Vistry will also deliver more than 8,000 sq. ft of commercial and community space on site.
The second partnership deal in Hardingstone, Northamptonshire, will see the group deliver 250 mixed-tenure homes with more than 50 per cent pre-sold.
The site was also formerly owned by Homes England and already has outline planning permission.
Most of the 1,000 new homes in the two deals will be manufactured off-site using timber frames from the Vistry Works East Midlands factory in Leicestershire.
It follows the FTSE 250 company’s recent merger of its Housebuilding and Partnerships operations.
“These deals further evidence the benefit of our long-term strategic partnership with Homes England, enabling the group to deliver a significant number of mixed tenure homes in the Midlands,” said Greg Fitzgerald, chief executive of Vistry Group.
“Furthermore, the unique capabilities of Vistry Works will allow us to utilise timber frame manufacturing at scale across both sites, speeding up housing delivery whilst reducing carbon emissions.”
