Building new homes

We’re committed to investing in good quality new homes that helps to meet the increasing housing need and tackle homelessness.

With a focus on sustainability, we're continuing work on our new developments, as well as regeneration projects. We’ll also be working in partnership to deliver affordable housing with local authorities.

We're due to complete over 3,200 homes in the next three years. This includes over 1,200 homes for 2024/25, our highest number of new homes in three years.

Introducing 'Clean Air' at Holmhurst

Partnering with Four Agency Worldwide and Thakeham, we've applied Clean Air spray to our on-site signage to reduce harmful air pollutants. It leverages sunlight to break down harmful greenhouse gases and will lead to:

• A 72,150mg reduction of Nitrogen Oxides per day

• The removal of emissions equivalent to 13,181 car journeys per year

Clean Air can reduce air pollution by 40% for a guaranteed 12-month period. We're proud to have this addition to Holmhurst Gardens, where the scheme is ‘future proofed’ and net zero ready for when the electricity grid is eventually decarbonised. It complies with the updated Part L Building regulations, meaning the new homes will produce at least 31% less Co2 emissions.

Transforming Shoreham-by-sea's waterfront

We're currently in the second and final phase of the Free Wharf regeneration project, which is delivering 100% affordable homes. Construction is now underway and is due to complete in 2026.

Cathy Bacon, Head of Development Delivery at Southern Housing, said: “The Free Wharf regeneration project shows our unwavering commitment to transform disused areas into vibrant communities."

The Free Wharf regeneration project, which is backed by Adur District Council and Homes England, is a cornerstone in the brownfield regeneration of Shoreham's harbour area. It’s breathing new life into a once disused portion of the riverside.

This transformative project will include the construction of 587 apartments and commercial/retail spaces, creating an urban hub that encourages further economic growth and redevelopment of the region.

Best shared ownership development

Our Hove development, Grand Avenue won 'Best Shared Ownership Development’ at the 2023 Evening Standard New Homes Awards.

Setting the standard for housebuilding excellence, the unique development came out on top thanks to its well-considered layout and communal spaces, blending contemporary architecture with practicality.

The development offers 72 spacious 1 and 2 bedroom shared ownership apartments, some which have spectacular sea views, something rarely seen in affordable developments. Ideal for first time buyers or those looking to downsize, shares are available from 25%.

Built to the highest quality standards, the apartments offer energy-efficient interiors such as underfloor heating, cycle storage and a balcony or terrace to every home.
