Farrans Construction is on site for the build contract of a new £50 million development of a senior living village in Bedfordshire.
Client
Central Bedfordshire Council
The Project
The extensive development will include a 72-bed care home, 8-bed short stay units and 88 independent living apartments for the over 55s. It is being constructed on the site of a former leisure centre in Flitwick. The building is designed to meet dementia-friendly guidelines and the best energy performance Passivhaus standards.
We are continuing to build on our strong relationship with Central Bedfordshire Council, as they progress with their agenda to deliver future-proof, high quality residential facilities for older people.
The core building, which is designed by architects Oliver and Robb, will deliver the healthiest of environments to help reduce the Council’s energy demands in the future.
Services & Expertise
We are bringing our expertise and knowledge of the senior living sector to Steppingley Road older persons’ village, meeting dementia-friendly guidelines and incorporating the highest standards of sustainability to achieve Passivhaus accreditation.
We have recently started construction on Marigold House in Leighton Buzzard and we have completed Hendon Hall for Signature Living.
