In a strategic move to address housing needs in South Tyneside, Robertson Construction has embarked on a major £31 million extra care housing scheme. This ambitious project, located in the heart of Hebburn town centre, aims to deliver a total of 95 apartments designed to cater to a diverse range of community needs.
The project broke ground recently with notable participants such as Neil Kennedy, Managing Director of Robertson Construction North East, accompanied by Karbon Homes’ Assistant Director Zoey Hawthorne and South Tyneside Councillor Ruth Berkley. This event marks a collaborative effort between Robertson Construction, Karbon Homes, and the South Tyneside Council.
Designed by architect JDDK, the development will feature an array of housing options, including 20 two-bedroom apartments and 75 one-bedroom apartments. Additionally, 17 of these units are specifically designated as dementia apartments, highlighting a commitment to specialised care and community integration.
Karbon Homes has undertaken ownership and management responsibilities for the development, working closely with the South Tyneside Council’s adult social care team. This partnership underlines a commitment to not only providing housing but also ensuring adequate social support and allocation of the apartments to those in need.
This significant undertaking by Robertson Construction and its partners stands as a testament to a forward-thinking approach in urban development and community housing solutions.
The Hebburn project exemplifies a collaborative effort to enhance housing infrastructure with a focus on community needs and specialised care.
