New Homes for Coventry in Spring 2027

WORK is underway at a new development at Pickford Gate in Coventry and is set to be completed in Spring 2027.

Citizen is working with Countryside Partnerships, part of Vistry Group, who are building the homes as part of 247 homes on the site overall.

The site is on Coventry’s Eastern Green, near the A45 will see 107 built for outright sale and 140 affordable homes built.

The development will be made up of 19 affordable rent, 61 social rent and 60 shared ownership homes.

Built using modern methods of construction to reduce carbon footprint of the properties the homes will be manufactured off site using open panel timber frames.

Each home built using these panels emits 14,460kg CO2e less than a traditional brick-and-block house and provides maximum energy efficiency helping future residents to cut their fuel bills.

Executive director of Development at Citizen, Nick Byrne, said:

“It’s great to see work is well underway at Pickford Gate and that we have started on the first phase at the site.

“More than 50 percent of the homes at the site are affordable which will help with the housing need in the area.

“At Citizen we will build the homes to meet the needs of our region and our work at Pickford Gate is part of this.

“This site is being constructed using timber frames which are a modern method of construction. Timber frames are a natural and renewable material and as the timber frames are created off-site, it means that build time on site is reduced.

“We’re looking forward to seeing the site progress over the next year and look forward to welcoming our customers into the homes when they are finished.”

The development is going to be made up of two, three and four bedroom homes.

James Warrington, divisional chair for South Midlands and the North at Vistry added:

“We are thrilled to be working with Citizen on this development which will help meet the housing needs in Coventry with family homes built using environmentally responsible methods.

“We’re excited to be a part of the area’s growth and to be entrusted with the build of these much-needed new homes which will drive regeneration and create a thriving and sustainable community.”
