Homes by Skanska, the residential property arm of Swedish construction company Skanska, has got clearance for its Trinity Square project in Cheltenham.
The planning application was approved as part of Cheltenham Borough Council’s redevelopment of North Place car park on the northern edge of the city centre.
Trinity Square will have 143 Scandinavian-style properties, in a mix of four-bedroom townhouses and a range of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments all with underground parking.
Homes by Skanska opened its first UK development, Seven Acres in Cambridge, in September 2012.
Homes by Skanska president Magnus Andersson said: “We are pleased to achieve planning on this exciting city-centre development in Cheltenham. This part of the country is an area we have identified as one that could offer great long-term opportunities.”
In keeping with the housebuilder’s Swedish heritage, each property is designed with high ceilings and large windows for maximum natural light and a focus on open-plan living space.
Each property will be designed to achieve level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.
