Fairview New Homes has completed the unconditional purchase of the former Masonic Lodge and Telephone Exchange in Elmsleigh Road from Inland Homes.

The 1.3 acre site, located in Staines-upon-Thames Town Centre has detailed planning consent for 206 apartments including 70 affordable homes. The Assael Architecture designed scheme comprises two buildings of 13 and 15 storeys, both having excellent views over the River Thames.

Jon Spring, Main Board Land Director for Fairview New Homes, said: “The development of this Brownfield site represents a great opportunity to develop a high quality, sustainable residential scheme in the heart of Staines-upon-Thames delivering much needed housing in the area.”

“Fairview remains well funded and is actively seeking similar deals on an unconditional or subject to planning basis across Greater London and the South East.”
