Avant Homes has started construction of a £22.7m, 70-home ‘flagship development’ in Shipley, Derbyshire, UK.

The company acquired a seven-acre site in May this year to build this residential project, which is being developed as a part of the Shipley Lakeside scheme.

Located on the earlier American Adventure Theme Park site, which closed in 2007, Shipley Lakeside forms part of the council’s proposed Amber Valley Borough Local Plan.

Following completion, Shipley Lakeside will see the regeneration of the 44-acre site.

The scheme will feature 307 new homes as part of a mixed-use neighbourhood.

Located on the northern edge of Shipley Lakeside, Avant Homes’ development will consist of a mix of three, four, and five-bedroom properties and feature 15 of the developer’s signature house designs.

Residents are anticipated to move into the first homes at the flagship development by the end of this year.

The approximate build length is expected to be two years.

Avant Homes Central managing director Chris Coley said: “Shipley Lakeside is a fantastic opportunity to broaden our presence in Derbyshire in order to meet our ambitious growth plans for the business.

“Our 70-design-led homes will make a great addition to the regeneration of this landmark site and will become a flagship development for Avant Homes Central.

“We’re very pleased to have works underway on the first homes at Shipley Lakeside and look forward to seeing the build progress over the coming months.”
