Later-living provider plans £800m expansion

Later-living provider Anchor plans to deliver 5,700 new homes over the next 10 years. The developer’s total estimated value for delivering projects over the life of the framework is £800m. It is looking to deliver schemes across England, developing retirement communities that comprise 60 or more homes for sale, shared ownership and rent. Anchor is seeking development partners and is tendering for four-year partnerships with architects, employers’ agents and cost consultants, structural and civil engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers, planning consultants and principal designers. Oliver Boundy, executive director of development at Anchor, said: “Helping people enjoy later life is our passion. With an ageing population and a lack of supply, our housing, care and support is needed more than ever. “Anchor manages 54,000 homes for both rent and sale to those aged 55 and over, operating across almost 1,700 sites and serving more than 65,000 residents. Our 10-year plan is to build on that success and help address the gap in service provision for older people in England.” To send feedback, e-mail akanksha.soni@eg.co.uk or tweet @AkankshaEG or @EGPropertyNews Image: Anchor
