Construction is underway on the former Matalan site. The Guinness Partnership is delivering new homes and this is taking place in phases.

Phase 1 of the development has now been completed. This phase sits across two blocks located on the eastern part of the site, consists of 143 one and two-bedroomed apartments for social rent, providing a new and very valuable source of affordable homes located in the heart of Stevenage. It will also include one of the internal landscaped gardens serving the development.

Thanks to additional funding from Homes England, the overall plans involve the construction of 526 one and two-bedroomed apartments along with flexible commercial space at street level which aims to create active street frontages.
