Galliford Try appointed to £25 million housing contract in Redcar

National housebuilding and construction group Galliford Try plc has been appointed to two new contracts in the affordable housing sector worth a combined £106 million.

The firm has been selected for a £25 million contract with Registered Provider Coast and Country housing to build six new Extra Care developments in Redcar.

The project will see the creation of 225 units and ancillary facilities across the surrounding region over the next three years.

In its largest ever single project, Galliford Try’s Partnerships business has also been selected by Notting Hill Housing to build the £81 million Great Eastern Quays project in East London.

In addition, Galliford Try has secured £20 million of funding from the HCA under the Affordable Homes Programme 2015-18.

The award, which is the largest made to a commercial housebuilder, will go towards the creation of 858 affordable homes across the country.

Galliford Try Chief Executive Greg Fitzgerald commented: “Affordable housing has become a real success story for our company across the country. The selection of Partnerships for its biggest ever single contract by Notting Hill Housing is testament to the strength of the brand and the hard work of the team. Likewise, our track record in Extra Care continues to resonate with clients and we look forward to working with our partners to produce high quality housing for their customers.”
