VIDEO | Regenda’s community-focused Grove Street vision takes shape

One of the largest social housing developments in the country is currently under construction in Liverpool. Place North West went along to find out more about the project.

Regenda Group’s regeneration of the 1970s Grove Street estate aims to provide more and better homes on the cusp of Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter.

Overall, the scheme will see the number of homes on site double to more than 300 as the ageing apartments are levelled to pave the way for the delivery of energy efficient homes for existing and new residents.

Metro Mayer Steve Rotheram said partnerships like the one with Regenda at Grove Street could help the city region make “a big dent” in its housing target, while also pushing the nation towards Labour’s 1.5m homes target.

Meanwhile, Stephanie Harrison, Regenda Group’s executive director of operations and customer service, outlined how the future of Grove Street has been crafted with the existing community in mind.

“We looked at [the ongoing regeneration of the Knowledge Quarter] and thought we want better for our residents,” she said. “They want to be part of this regeneration so we extended the boundaries to include [Grove Street].”
