West End Retirement Village
Work has now started on-site on this 100 unit retirement village which comprises a 14,000 ft2 headquarters office development for Staffordshire Housing Association, located in the former Bilton Works pottery site in Stoke-on-Trent.
Situated on one of the main gateways into Stoke, West End Village will integrate with the community and provide some shared resources. It is a catalyst to regenerate the town, as well as a key element of the city's strategy to meet the future housing needs of older people.
The village is a £16 million partnership project being funded by Staffordshire Housing Association, Stoke-on-Trent City Council, the Homes and Communities Agency and RENEW North Staffordshire.
The project was recently awarded the BREEAM 'Excellent' award for sustainability and is programmed for completion in the Spring of 2010.
