The 59 homes have been designed by Halsall Lloyd Partnership
Leeds city council has appointed Wilmott Dixon to build 59 affordable homes in the Gipton and Osmondthorpe districts in the east of the city.
The contractor will build the homes, designed by the Halsall Lloyd Partnership, ready for completion in July 2020.
The Leeds job, which is worth more than £9m, follows the recent signing of two contracts worth a total of £40m which will see Wilmott Dixon build more than 100 affordable homes in Salford for Salix Homes and a further 147 homes on a nine-acre site in Simonsway for the Wythenshawe Community Housing Group.
The Gipton and Osmondsthrope projects are part of the council’s Housing Growth Programme which aims to contribute over 300 new council homes towards the city’s overall annual target of 1,230 new affordable homes from 2019.
Wilmott Dixon said the two developments are among some of the first social housing the council has embarked on in the last 20 years.
