Family-owned housebuilder Beal Homes has begun work to pave the way for a £120m development in Hull’s popular Kingswood neighbourhood.
Beal has started infrastructure works on the site, including construction of roads and sewage systems, ahead of building starting on the first homes.
The development, named King’s Crescent, will feature 450 new homes on a 52-acre site west of Richmond Way. It will extend Beal’s track record of delivering developments over more than 30 years in the thriving suburban area.
Andy Devine, Construction Director of East Yorkshire-based Beal, said: “We’ve now moved onto the King’s Crescent site and local residents can expect to see our experienced construction teams carrying out infrastructure works, including roads and sewers installation, over the coming weeks before the first homes begin to rise from the ground.
“As with all of our developments, we’re committed to ensuring work on site is carried out with minimal disruption to the surrounding community and with full consideration for local people.”
King’s Crescent will be delivered in two phases, with full planning permission granted for the first 214 homes and outline planning permission in place for a further 236 homes.
The first phase will include a wide range of two, three and four-bedroom house types, including semi-detached, mews and detached homes, suitable for all types of buyers. The first plots are expected to be released by late summer.
The King’s Crescent infrastructure works follow the success of Beal’s neighbouring King’s Fold development, which now has only 14 homes remaining available. In all, Beal has delivered more than 1,200 high-quality new homes in Kingswood since 1994.
Sales and Marketing Director Ross Clarkson said: “We’re excited to have begun work on site to enable our latest development in Kingswood and that we’ll soon be offering another opportunity to own a luxury home in this popular neighbourhood.
“We’ve been part of the Kingswood community for more than three decades, so we’re excited to begin the latest chapter of our story in the area.”
King’s Crescent will also include provision of a large managed country park, planted with more than 800 trees, and Beal will also make a financial contribution to enable 99 new primary school places.
Beal is also currently funding and delivering a £2m project to enhance flood resilience for the whole Kingswood community, by carrying out works to widen and strengthen the embankment alongside the nearby River Hull.
The works will not only safeguard King’s Crescent, but the entire community in Kingswood, which now includes more than 3,500 homes, as well as numerous commercial and retail units.
