Works have begun to transform an industrial site on Edward Street into 72 one- and two-bedroom apartments.
The scheme, known as Clive Works — a nod to the needle factory that once stood on the site — received planning approval from Redditch Borough Council last year.
Mary Doria, our Project Manager, said:
“We are delighted to have commenced construction at Clive Works.
“The initial phases of the project involve clearing the site and ensuring all pre-construction planning conditions are met.
“Once complete, this scheme will deliver 72 high-quality social homes for the Redditch community and support the wider regeneration of a key gateway to the town.”
Earlier this year, we appointed Midlands-based construction firm TR Partnership Homes to build the new homes at Clive Works.
Steve Thompson, Managing Director at TR Partnership Homes, said:
“We are proud to be working in partnership with GreenSquareAccord to deliver much-needed affordable homes in Redditch.
“Clive Works represents an important regeneration project for the town, transforming a disused industrial site into high-quality, energy-efficient homes that will benefit local people for generations to come.
“As a Midlands-based contractor, we are committed to supporting local communities through investment, employment opportunities and sustainable construction practices throughout the build programme.”
Local MP Chris Bloore recently visited the site and welcomed progress on the scheme.
Chris Bloore, MP for Redditch, said:
“I’m proud to see Clive Works under way on Edward Street. This is about more than housing — it is about dignity, security and creating strong foundations for local families.
“Transforming a derelict industrial site into 72 modern, virtually plastic-free social homes tackles our housing crisis head-on while helping to regenerate the town centre.
“Redditch needs affordable homes, and this £35 million investment delivers exactly that. I’ve seen the progress firsthand and commend GreenSquareAccord and TR Partnership Homes for their commitment.
“These homes will change lives, and I will continue working to ensure they deliver the difference our community deserves.”
Our Clive Works development is the fourth and final project within a £35 million regeneration programme that we are leading.
Once complete, the programme will see the redevelopment of two roads near Redditch railway station, delivering 175 high-quality social homes.
Sustainability is at the heart of our regeneration scheme, with 12 innovative, virtually plastic-free homes on Edward Street, alongside cycle storage and electric vehicle charging points at the two completed schemes, Victoria Works and Passingham Place.
