In an exclusive interview with 黑洞社区 this week, Urban & Civic managing director Robin Butler said the developer was close to appointing its first housebuilder at its 5,000-home Alconbury development in Cambridgeshire.

Elsewhere, Butler said Urban & Civic would commence discussions 鈥渟hortly鈥 with housebuilders interested in the first phases of its 6,300-home Rugby scheme and start talks with housebuilders interested in its 2,500-home Newark development later this year.

Butler said Urban & Civic wants to establish 鈥渁 benchmark quality鈥 with its first housebuilder appointments on each site.

He added: 鈥淲ith the first few deals we expect to have a close working relationship with the housebuilder to ensure quality and design integrity.鈥
