ALL 141 new homes have now been sold at the development on Ellesmere Port’s former greyhound racing track.

Regeneration specialists Galliford Try Partnerships announced the sale of the final 40 units at its Chase Park site yesterday (Wednesday, May 2).

The 101 other homes had already been sold on the estate and leading provider of Private Rented Sector housing, Sigma Capital Group, completed the purchase of the final 40 units in March.

Of the homes, 45 are being brought forward on behalf of Cheshire West and Chester Council and are said to represent the first council homes built in the borough in 40 years.

The remaining 56 will be delivered for not-for-profit housing and care provider Sanctuary.

Construction started in October 2016 after the council granted planning permission to redevelop the site in July 2016.

Jonathan Peasant, development director at Galliford Try Partnerships, said: “We are delighted to have signed this deal with Sigma Capital which will see the final 40 units of our Chase Park site become available for private rent. Construction is already well underway and we are delighted to be bringing this fantastic project forward.

“This is the first deal Galliford Try Partnerships has signed with Sigma, marking the start of a great relationship with one of the leading players in the private rental sector.”

Matthew Townson, development director at Sigma Capital Group, added: “This is a fantastic regeneration project and we are very happy to be able to come on board and deliver the final 40 units.

“Chase Park is in a great strategic location and we are excited to be able to market these new homes under our consumer private rental brand, Simple Life. The first Simple Life homes are predicted to be available to let as early as July this year.”

Overall the 10-acre site will include a mix of one-bedroom apartments and two, three and four-bedroom homes including a mix of affordable and private rented options as well as a new sports pitch.
