A new £7.5 million housing development in Newport has been completed.
The redevelopment of the Cot Farm estate in Ringland began back in 2018 and has promised to provide "much needed new homes" for Newport.
The development, situated on land at Hendre Farm Drive and carried out between Newport City Homes and developers Lovell, consists of 55 one and two-bedroom apartments, two and three-bedroom homes and one bungalow.
“We’re so pleased to have welcomed 55 families into their new homes at Cot Farm," said Matthew Davies, executive director of Development at Newport City Homes.
“The Cot Farm development is the first phase of our regeneration masterplan for the Ringland community which aims to create an attractive, vibrant and modern place to live and work, as well as providing much needed affordable homes to meet the housing crisis.
“As part of our wider plans, which are currently being considered by Newport City Council, we hope to build a modern new shopping centre which will be close to other new services being brought to the area, including the Newport East Health Hub.”
The project includes building 170 new homes in total and relocating Ringland Shopping Centre.
James Duffett, regional managing director at Lovell, said: “We’re delighted at the successful completion of the Cot Farm project in Newport.
"At Lovell, we put people at the heart of all our operations and we’re very proud to have provided the local community with high quality, much needed new homes, as well as a thriving new place to call theirs and numerous jobs and apprenticeships.
“It’s been a pleasure working with Newport City Homes for the first time and contributing to this complex regeneration of the Ringland area, and we look forward to seeing the programme continue to find success.”
