A breaking ground ceremony has been held to mark the beginning of work on a new retirement development in Leatherhead.
Christ Church Apartments is being developed by leading retirement home provider Birchgrove on the former Christ Church United Reformed Church site. The development will consist of three buildings totalling 62 self-contained apartments for people over 65.
As well as representatives from Birchgrove and main contractor Kori Construction, Christ Church URC parishioners also attended the ceremony.
Christ Church Apartments will include exclusive onsite amenities such as a restaurant, licensed bar, club room, fitness suite, library, landscaped gardens, and bowling green. Residents will benefit from a regular events and activities programme, and for added peace of mind there will be a concierge and 24-hour staff presence.
Work on Christ Church Apartments is expected to be completed by February 2025.
Birchgrove MD Honor Barratt said: “We are excited to be working with Kori Construction to build our next retirement community in Leatherhead.
“Christ Church Apartments will encapsulate all the benefits of the Birchgrove offering; beautiful, purpose-built apartments, a flexible rental model, publicly accessible communal spaces and a development the continues to remain at the heart of the local community.”
