NEW homes

Queensgate opening

Radian has built 478 new homes during the financial year ending 31 March.

That’s thanks to our Development Team across three offices in Eastleigh, Petersfield and Windsor. As well as building new homes, they secure grant-funding, liaise with local authorities, obtain planning consents and buy land. Additionally, they manage our building contractors, consultants and legal services.

Development also hosts a design panel with residents to look at architects’ plans, to make constructive criticisms and improvements for our new homes.

Here are just a few examples of what the team has achieved: Just off the Queens Roundabout in Farnborough, we’ve built the first 29 homes on the Queensgate development. It’s a mix of homes for sale, private and affordable rent and shared ownership.

Lovejoy Lane

Windsor residents are helping us monitor new technologies to check that we use the most cost-effective resources available. We’ve built nine three-bed houses on former garage courts in Jab Close, off Lovejoy Lane. They have photovoltaic panels to generate electricity, solar panels to help heat water and high levels of insulation.

The Development Team negotiated buying 11 family houses and 90 flats in Fullerton Place, Southampton. Local businesses gave a welcome hamper for every home which included a free dinner from Pizza Hut, along with cleaning products and basic food supplies from Waitrose.

Randall Court

Randall Court in Old Windsor, A derelict sheltered scheme has recently been redeveloped to produce six attractive town houses alongside some large apartments, built specifically for the over-55s. Lyndwood Drive where they are based is a cul-de-sac, and so the residents living across from these new homes were given the chance to take a look around them before they were inhabited.

Stoneham Cemetery Road


We have recently started building 11 eco-homes for affordable rent in Stoneham Cemetery Road, Southampton. Latest environmental technology is being used so that the homes achieve the highest level of sustainable recognition. These will be code level 6 homes and at present very few exist in the country.

Fullerton Place

The old Alliance House in Portsmouth was a dilapidated communal building which was originally a corset factory. Whilst building a new block of highly attractive apartments on its site, we became aware that across the road at City Girls Senior School, a memorial was needed. This was for a former pupil who had died after a fight against cancer. The builders happily crossed the road and built something for the teachers and students to remember their friend by.
