The former Coalville Van Centre and associated buildings located just off Ashby Road in Coalville have been sold in a deal arranged by specialist land development and property consultancy Mather Jamie.
The site has been sold to Deeley Group and the company has agreed a deal with Exemplar Health Care to deliver a new care home which will provide comprehensive care for adults living with complex mental health needs, dementia, neuro-disabilities, and physical disabilities.
Deeley Group has now started work on the development with an anticipated completion date in 2026.
Work is underway to demolish the existing buildings to make way for the new care home which will feature 36 en-suite bedrooms split across three units.
Exemplar Health Care currently operates 50 complex care services across England.
Commenting on the deal, Sam Tyler from Mather Jamie, said: “This will be an exciting development for Coalville and ensure valuable brownfield land is utilised to deliver much needed local services which in turn will also create employment opportunities.”
Commenting on the acquisition of the site, Eleanor Deeley, Joint Managing Director at Deeley Group, said: “As demand for high-quality, complex care grows, we are delighted to have been able to secure a site to deliver this for those in Coalville and the surround areas.
“We are delighted that Mather Jamie has helped us to secure the site and to be working to deliver the 36-bed scheme for Exemplar Health Care, this is our sixth scheme with Exemplar and further cements our partnership.”
