Unveiling new affordable homes with Hightown
Hightown Housing Association has celebrated the opening of 65 new affordable homes in the Leagrave area of Luton.
Oakley House
Built on the site of the former Whitbread office, all of the homes are for rent and allocated to people in housing need nominated by Luton Borough Council. Oakley House includes a mixture of one and two-bedroom flats and two, three and four-bedroom houses. The development is well connected, with Leagrave train station offering direct links to London St Pancras and easy access to the M1 motorway.
The opening event was attended by councillors and staff from Luton Borough Council, staff and Board members from Hightown; plus, contractors and consultants involved in the project.
It's fantastic to open these new homes for local people in Luton which are helping people like Shevon, Hightown's 9,000th resident. Her previous time living in short-term accommodation with her four children was difficult and unsettling, but her family is now looking forward to a brighter future in their new home at Oakley House. That's what Hightown is all about – building safe and secure homes and making a real social impact.
It has been a privilege to collaborate once again with Hightown Housing Association and Luton Borough Council in delivering these much-needed affordable homes to the community. At Hill we are committed to designing and building properties that not only meet the highest standards of quality but also prioritise energy efficiency. The homes at Oakley House are a testament to these values and will serve the community for generations to come.
