Homes England partners with Vistry in a £150M venture to develop community homes, aiming to deliver thousands of new homes in the UK.
(Reuters) -UK's housing and regeneration agency Homes England said on Monday it agreed to a joint venture partnership with homebuilder Vistry to develop community homes, backed by a combined capital investment of 150 million pounds ($202.6 million).
Homes England and Vistry's Countryside Properties will form a new vehicle called Hestia, which will focus on identifying sites for new infrastructure and manage the construction of new communities of between 400 and 3,000 homes.
"By mobilising private capital alongside government investment, this significant new joint venture will bring forward more high-quality, mixed-tenure developments and deliver thousands of new homes to buy and rent," said Housing and Planning Minister Matthew Pennycook.
The announcement comes months after British Finance Minister Rachel Reeves announced an additional 10 billion poundinvestment to build thousands more homes in England.
In July, the homebuilder warned that profit margins could remain constrained in the year amidst tough market conditions.
