Jackson Construction has secured a £5.8 million project with Sanctuary Housing Association to build a new Extra-Care sheltered housing facility in the London borough of Barnet Providing high specification, purpose built accommodation for the Association's elderly residents, the 63-unit facility will achieve a 'very good' bespoke eco homes environmental rating and cater for a mix of leasehold tenants and rental occupiers

The first phase of the development requires the demolition of an existing three-storey building at the Goodwin Court site.

Once completed, Jackson will commence the construction of the majority three-storey building, which has been designed around a central courtyard area.

Externally the new building will feature a range of finishes to the facade, including brick, concrete facing tile and timber cladding, and residents occupying ground floor flats benefit from individual patio areas.

With the Extra-Care model based around the concept of self-sufficiency for residents within a context of support when required, the one and two-bedroom flats have their own lockable front doors and include individual kitchen facilities.

Communally, Sanctuary's residents can make use of a gym, laundry, various activity rooms, a large restaurant, hairdressing salon and garden room.

Externally, Jackson will carry out a range of hard and soft landscaping finishes, create a car park and provide secure bicycle storage, with the project scheduled for completion at the end of February 2008.

Phillip Allerton, director of Jackson Construction's Accommodation division, commented: "The company remains firmly at the forefront of delivering high quality and innovative next-generation sheltered housing developments across the south of England.

Jackson Construction has built up real pedigree in this growth sector, securing framework partnerships with key clients and delivering award-winning schemes.

Our success stems from a real commitment to understand the specific requirements of both clients and end users and our ability to add value at every stage of the design process.".
