We are delighted to have handed over the first 28 new homes at Beechmount Village. The high-quality apartments, family homes and accessible housing represent the first phase of this integrated urban village on the former Adria factory site. When complete, the scheme will provide over 150 much needed new homes in Strabane.
Jason Hardy, Head of Development at Woven Housing Association said: “The former Adria site on Beechmount Avenue had been vacant for more than 15 years and holds a long history with the people of Strabane. Our aim from the concept and design stage was to bring new life back into the area, creating a new modern community for the families of Strabane to live and thrive. Working alongside our main contractor Kevin Watson Group (KWG) we are delighted to have been able to deliver new, high quality accessible homes and apartments to meet the growing social housing need in the area.
“The new Beechmount Village scheme has been designed to meet the needs of our tenants. It will include high quality open space and landscaping, and, once completed, a playpark. This is a massive improvement for the local area and we’re delighted to welcome the first tenants to their new homes. We’re very much looking forward to completing the scheme with a further 130 units and continuing our long investment in social housing in Strabane.”
Alderman Darren Guy, Deputy Mayor of Derry City & Strabane District Council, said: “I was pleased to attend the official handover of the first phase of Beechmount Village in Strabane. This mixed-use housing and employment development on the former Adria factory site is a fantastic addition to the existing housing offering in the area and will be widely welcomed by home seekers in the local community.”
Woven is also continuing to explore further development opportunities to address the growing demand for social housing as part of its commitment to provide accessible and inclusive homes.
