Ilke was chosen by the Liverpool-based housing association and is now working with Riverside to draw up a planning application for submission in the next month.
Ilke is planning to deliver 449 homes on the site including a mix of homes and flats ranging from one- to four bed-properties, with tenures including social rent, shared ownership and build-to-rent. Ilke is being employed to win planning and carrying out the development of the site as well as deliver the housing modules from its timber frame factory in Knaresborough.
Ilke said that 416 of the homes will be built using full category 1 volumetric modular build in its factory, with the rest of the apartments built by Ilke using “other forms of MMC”.
The contract comes after Ilke last month announced it had appointed former retail expert David Scott to the role of the chief operating officer at the firm as it looks to quadruple its output to 4,000 homes a year. It today said the latest contract meant it now had a pipeline of 1,600 homes in the South east alone.
In December the loss-making modular start-up raised £100m in further equity investment designed to allow its expansion to proceed.
