The first residential parcel in Horton Heath, named The Lower Acre, will feature 381 houses and apartments, offering a variety of 1- to 4-bedroom homes. These will be available to buy outright or with shared ownership, as well as being available for both private and affordable rent. This diverse range of tenures aims to provide much-needed, high-quality, affordable housing in the Borough of Eastleigh.

Wates is a family-owned business specialising in development, construction, and property maintenance. The company delivers exceptional projects that generate social value for local communities. Their focus on innovation, sustainable procurement, and environmental responsibility makes them an ideal partner for this development.

The homes at The Lower Acre will set new standards for energy efficiency, surpassing current government requirements. By eliminating fossil fuels on-site, these homes will be environmentally friendly and cost-effective for future residents.

Construction is set to begin soon next month with the first homes expected to be completed in late summer 2025. Early reservations for prospective homebuyers will open after easter.

This collaboration marks an exciting step forward in creating sustainable, community-focused housing in the Eastleigh borough.
