Morgan Sindall Later Living has achieved practical completion on an 80-bed extra care scheme in York.
The 4,040 square metres development, known as Mossdale Residence, is part of a multimillion-pound health and wellbeing campus being constructed in Burnholme to support the city’s growing older population.
Mossdale Residence, which sits on part of the former Burnholme Community College site, was procured by City of York Council and delivered in a partnership led by Morgan Sindall Later Living.
The facility, which was designed by Penoyre & Prasad, will be operated by HC-One and forms an important part of the council’s York Older Persons’ Accommodation Programme, which is working to ensure the city’s growing population of older people have access to a wide range of modern accommodation.
The development was supported by funding from USS, with Pacy & Wheatley the appointed contractor on the scheme and property management consultant Rider Levett Bucknall also on board.
The wider development across the former college site includes a range of facilities, including a library, community areas and a new sports centre, with new homes being the next stage of the development.
“The completion of Mossdale Residence is not just a pivotal moment for us, but for the Burnholme community as a whole,” said Morgan Sindall Later Living director Laurence Basturkmen (pictured, second from left).
“As well as providing much needed specialist housing for York’s senior residents, the development will also be at the heart of a new community that will bring people of all ages together,” he added.
The development will officially open to new residents in January.
