More than 300 affordable homes to be built at Eastern Green in Coventry

We’re working with Vistry to deliver 304 affordable homes in phases four and five at Coventry’s Eastern Green.

The homes are being delivered as part of our joint venture with Vistry, the UK’s leading provider of mixed-tenure homes.

Across phases four and five 607 homes will be delivered in total and the remaining 303 homes will be sold on the open market by the joint venture  company via Vistry’s retail housing brands. The sale of the land for phases four and five has recently been completed.

Eastern Green is a sustainable urban extension of Coventry, with outline planning permission in place for 2,400 homes and other community services. We are already in the process of developing phase one with Vistry, which is providing 247 homes.

Alongside the new homes, the urban extension at Eastern Green is providing 15 hectares of new employment space, 10,000 square metres of retail space, a primary school, a new local centre and a convenience store, as well as a range of ecological enhancements.

Nick Byrne, Executive Director of Development at Citizen, said: “We’re pleased to be continuing our joint venture with Vistry and provide more affordable and market sale homes for people living in the West Midlands.

“At Citizen we have an ambitious development programme to build homes to meet the needs of our region and we also work with our partners, including Vistry, to make a positive difference to our customers and communities.

“We’re looking forward to seeing work at Eastern Green in Coventry continue building on our existing presence in the area.”

James Warrington, Executive Chair at Vistry Group, added: “Continuing our joint venture with Citizen at Eastern Green is great example of Vistry’s long term partnerships strategy – it’s enabling us to provide more than 800 new homes across three phases, with 50% of them offered in affordable tenures and the remainder for sale with one of our retail housing brands, perfectly demonstrating the strengths of the Group.”
