Construction work is drawing to a close on the first phase of a new homes scheme in Sketty.
St Modwen Homes is building up to 300 new homes in one of the largest residential projects built in Swansea over recent years, Hendrefoilan Park, on land formerly occupied by a student village off Ffordd Yr Olchfa Sketty.
Planning consent for the existing phase of development was granted in 2016. As part of the planning agreement, St Modwen has made a commitment to contribute £942,000 to expand Hendrefoilan Primary School as part of a Section 106 agreement.
A further £29,000 has been pledged to make traffic light improvements to the immediate area. Demolition work on the final part of the former Hendrefoilan Student Village will make way for additional development on the site.
David Greengrass, head of sales at St Modwen Homes, said:
“We have been proudly delivering new homes in Swansea for several years as part of our Hendrefoilan Park development, which is transforming this part of the city with sustainable, energy efficient new housing.
“Work has now progressed so far on the site that we’ve been able to release our showhomes for sale at the development, where prospective buyers can benefit from both a brand new home and the added comfort of a professionally finished interior design concept throughout the homes.
“As part of our scheme in Sketty, we’ve been able to contribute towards the local community with much more than just our new homes, with contributions made via our S106 agreement to support local education and transport, among other services.
“We look forward to finishing work on the remaining homes in this phase of the project, with more than 90 per cent of the homes already sold, and inviting new buyers into our showhomes where they can picture life in their very own St Modwen property.”
