Works to redevelop a sheltered housing complex in Thurmaston into nine new bungalows will begin in February.
Charnwood Borough Council has chosen Leicestershire-based construction company Mercer Building Solutions to undertake construction of the redevelopment.
The first phase of the £2m investment project will be the demolition of the existing buildings, which will take place in late February.
The development is expected to be completed in early 2026.
The proposed bungalows have been designed for people with mobility issues.
St Michael’s Court was built around 1970 and no longer meets the needs of older tenants. The complex comprised mainly of bedsits with shared bathrooms which are difficult to let.
The ageing sheltered accommodation also had long corridors which are difficult for people with mobility issues.
Cllr Colin Hamilton, the Council’s lead member for planning and housing, said: “I am pleased that the new contract with Mercer Building Solutions is in place, and we look forward to working with them on this important redevelopment.
“It will be exciting to see the creation of nine new bungalows in Thurmaston, and I am positive that the team at Mercer will deliver excellent accommodation for residents and provide them with a high-quality standard of living.”
Katy Mercer, Director of Mercer Building Solutions, said: “We are delighted to be working with Charnwood Borough Council to deliver nine new bungalows designed specifically for people with mobility issues.
“This project reflects our commitment to delivering much needed accessible, high-quality homes.
“We are incredibly proud to be part of this important initiative and look forward to seeing these homes provide a safe and supportive environment for their new residents.”
