Keepmoat plans to invest more than £20 million into transformation of Alexandra Dock

Top 10 UK housebuilder, Keepmoat, has outlined plans to transform Alexandra Dock and create 120 new homes in Grimsby.

The regeneration scheme, which received planning approval from North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC) on Friday, represents an investment of more than £20 million from the housebuilder.

Working in collaboration with NELC, Keepmoat will deliver high-quality, all electric multi-tenure homes, vibrant green spaces and maintain an area for retail investment.

The development will feature 54 affordable homes, offered through social rent in partnership with a local housing association.

Richard Gough, Operations Director at Keepmoat, Yorkshire East said: “We’re thrilled to secure planning to breathe new life into Alexandra Dock. This project represents a significant investment in the area and we’re looking forward to working alongside our partners to bring forward a brownfield piece of land set for regeneration.

“At Keepmoat, we are proud to build communities and transform lives. Grimsby is a fantastic location, offering a range of amenities and strong transport links. ”

Councillor Stewart Swinburn, Cabinet member for Housing at North East Lincolnshire Council, added: I’m pleased this has taken the next step towards becoming a reality. This housing development, right in the town centre, will help to transform Grimsby’s future in the coming years.

“Through investment, and working with other organisations, like Keepmoat and Homes England, we are helping to build stronger communities across our borough.”

Keepmoat already has a strong presence across North East Lincolnshire, with its Cambridge Green development at the former Western School site where the housebuilder is delivering 318 new homes, including affordable and retirement properties to create sustainable communities across East Yorkshire.

Keepmoat is a top 10 UK partnership homebuilder with a track-record of delivering quality homes in regions across the UK. To date, Keepmoat has built over 35,000 homes, transforming brownfield sites into thriving new communities.
