Countryside and Hyde Housing Association have signed a development agreement with Medway Council and the Homes and Communities Agency to develop Rochester Riverside in Kent.
The 74-acre site adjoining Rochester town centre will have a GDV of up to £400m, delivering 1,300 homes, a quarter of which will be affordable.
The site will also include a primary school, nursery, leisure and healthcare facilities, workspace, two hotels and retail.
Countryside and Hyde will be joint developers and Hyde will take on the long-term management and maintenance of the affordable homes.
The design team is led by HTA and BPTW.
Andy Fancy, operations director of Countryside’s Partnerships South division, said: “We are very excited to be involved in the Rochester Riverside project and are looking forward to working with Medway Council, HCA and Hyde to regenerate the area. We share an ambition with the Council to redevelop the current sites whilst placing people at the heart of the process.”
