SL entered into a joint venture agreement with Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Services to redevelop this high profile site in Cambridge city centre.

The scheme comprises 99 apartments and a new fire station at ground level. Planning consent was secured and work started on site in early 2011.

Stoford’s partnership with the fire service has delivered an optimum scheme for this site. They have worked closely together to identify the requirements for the new fire station and incorporate these in a landmark design located in central Cambridge.

Grosvenor are funding the development and taking the project forward.

Completion is in 2013 when the new state of the art fire station opens.

Stoford purchased these Grade II listed 19th Century almshouse s, set within a walled courtyard and yet close to the heart of Birmingham City Centre.

The properties were purchased from Lench’s Trust and Stoford undertook a refurbishment to provide 29 one and two bedroom apartments.
The design and the quality of the refurbishment ensured that all units were sold immediately after completion and resulted in Stoford being presented the fiercely contested Birmingham Post and Mail Design Award.
