Award-winning housebuilder The Hill Group and Gravesham Borough Council have announced a strategic joint venture partnership to bring long-term investment and create new homes and amenities for the local community.

The Gravesham Community Investment Partnership will support the council in achieving its new build programme to deliver hundreds of affordable homes across the borough. Schemes will be created through the regeneration of brownfield land and new suburban housing and estate regeneration, with homes available through a range of tenures, including much needed council housing for those on the council’s Housing Register.

The partnership will look to unlock the great potential that Gravesham holds as a desirable destination to live. The historic borough is a scenic coastal location commutable to London St Pancras in less than 25 minutes thanks to HS1 station at Gravesend and boasts a range of excellent high-achieving grammar schools.

Hill anticipates completing over 2,800 homes in 2022 and has a controlled land bank with planning consent of over 6000 units. Around half of the development portfolio is in joint venture to deliver a range of mixed tenure developments, reflecting Hill’s commitment to partnerships with government, local authorities, housing associations and private clients. 

Andy Hill, Group Chief Executive at The Hill Group comments: “By combining expertise in regeneration and residential development with Gravesham Borough Council’s ambition to unlock the land potential in the local area, we are excited to be working with our new partner to deliver much-needed affordable homes and amenities for the community. The new partnership underlines Hill’s reputation as being a partner of choice for local authorities seeking to deliver high quality, sustainable new homes and placemaking.”
