Central Avenue, Northampton

Central Avenue in Northampton is being transformed through a 38-home affordable housing scheme delivered by BREE Construction for Futures Housing Group, working alongside Grand Union. BREE was awarded the 9.2 million pound contract in July 2023, and formal works started on site in March 2024, marking the beginning of construction on a long-stalled site.

The development is bringing new affordable homes to a Northampton regeneration site that had stood unfinished for years. By returning this estate to active use, the scheme answers a long-running local concern about the abandoned site and replaces it with affordable housing for the area.

Work is under way to provide the 38 new homes, with BREE celebrating the formal start of works in 2024 as the partnership between Futures Housing Group and BREE Construction moved into delivery.

With construction running to 2025, the Central Avenue project represents a focused piece of urban regeneration in the East Midlands, turning a neglected estate into new affordable homes. The scheme gives local households access to quality housing in an established part of Northampton and demonstrates BREE's role in unlocking difficult, previously stalled sites for the benefit of the community.

The Central Avenue scheme is notable for tackling a site long associated locally with stalled regeneration. By bringing forward 38 affordable homes for Futures Housing Group in partnership with Grand Union, the project answers a real community concern and finishes what had been an abandoned estate.
