Award honour for Belgrave Riverside
A popular Leicester city centre residential development has been recognised for its energy efficient homes after winning a top construction award.
Westleigh Homes Belgrave Riverside development has been named as the winner of the Small/Medium Residential Scheme category at the 2013 Leicestershire Property and Construction Awards.
Rounding off a highly successful year for the development, which has seen off-plan sales increase and homes being snapped up through early bird releases, the award recognises Belgrave Riverside as Westleigh Developments’ most energy-efficient private sales homes in the region.
Transforming the former British Union Shoe Machinery head office at Ross Walk into a highly desirable residential development, Whetstone-based Westleigh Homes built 25 new homes on the first phase, with each one boasting environmental credentials including solar heated water, water saving taps and low energy light fittings. These homes are now all occupied and the next phase will offer 33 new three and four bedroom homes.
Offering family living close to the city centre, Belgrave Riverside has proved a huge draw for local people, as well as those looking to relocate and continues to experience a high volume of interest from potential buyers. With such demand Westleigh are now taking reservations on their next phase of new homes
Robert Orr, Sales and Marketing Manager for Westleigh Homes, comments, “We are very proud to say that Belgrave Riverside is now an award-winning development and it has proved a huge success, tapping into the demand for those who want to own a brand new home that remains close to local amenities and, of course, the city itself.
“Help to Buy and recommendations from residents here on the development have also kept demand high and we are thrilled to now be taking reservations for the next phase. This means that anyone looking to buy one of our homes needs to be quick as reservation requests are coming in thick and fast.”
