The scheme forms part of Chester\u2019s 15-year regeneration strategy and will support the city\u2019s economic revival around its historic core.<\/p>\n

In Warrington, Habiko is working with AHR Architects to deliver around 240 flats between Academy Street and Mersey Street, close to the Times Square district.<\/p>\n

The partnership is setting a minimum of 75% affordable rent homes across both schemes, with the potential to reach 100%. Discounted Market Rents will be at least 20% below local market levels. All homes will be forward funded by PIC.<\/p>\n
