We work in partnership with local authorities, housing associations and others to transform estates and shape places on brownfield sites across London, the South of England, and Wales.
With over a century of experience, we’ve established a reputation for solving complex challenges and bringing a bespoke approach with care and integrity.
As part of a family owned business, we are driven by our purpose – to reimagine places for people to thrive – and not by short term shareholder gain.
That’s why partners and communities trust us not just to develop and build, but to commit and deliver through thick or thin.
An end-to-end offer
We provide a fully integrated development and contracting service – from investment and design through to construction, sales and aftercare.
Because everything sits under one roof, our partners benefit from one team, clear accountability and confidence in delivery.
We build long‑term partnerships rooted in trust, transparency and shared goals, tailoring our approach to each partner, with many local authority relationships spanning more than a decade.
With 39 partnerships and over 7,000 homes delivered since 2005, our track record speaks for itself.
Backed by the strength of the Wates Group, we bring capital, confidence and commitment to every scheme.
As a privately owned business, we’re not driven by share price. This enables agility, openness and a genuinely long‑term view.
We believe genuine regeneration starts with place.
Working alongside local authorities, communities and our supply chain, we shape developments that respond to local character and deliver social, environmental and economic value.
As a Tier 1 contractor, we bring assured delivery to complex residential regeneration.
We also draw on the specialist expertise of our Group businesses to deliver integrated solutions and better outcomes.
We’re committed to exceptional build quality and a seamless customer experience.
Our regional sales and aftercare teams combine local insight with personalised support to ensure residents feel confident from first enquiry to moving in.
A proven track record of partnership
Strong partnerships are the foundation of thriving communities. We do what we say we will – bringing reliability, openness and a solutions‑focused mindset to every relationship.
Creating communities that thrive for generations
As part of the Wates Group, now in its fourth generation of family leadership, family values are embedded in
everything we do, from how we work to how we shape the future for generations to come.
Because for us, regeneration isn’t just about homes. It’s about creating places that stand the test of time. Find out more about how we’re reimagining places for people to thrive at Gascoigne Phase 3B in the
London Borough of Barking & Dagenham.
