Vinci and St. Modwen have been appointed by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation as development managers for a 2,100-home scheme at the MOD鈥檚 Ashchurch site in Gloucestershire.

The 50/50 joint venture between Vinci and St Modwen will oversee the construction of the homes on six hectares of land at Ashchurch, including providing strategic advice and leadership, on-site development and managing the disposal process.

The JV will also be given the opportunity to construct some or all of the developments鈥� commercial aspects and is expected to build some of the residential accommodation.

Mark Hirst, Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) development manager, said: 鈥淒IO is delighted to appoint Vinci St.Modwen as development manager on this major redevelopment project.

鈥淥ur purpose is ensure the right buildings are in the right place to support our Armed Forces and that the military estate is no larger than required to meet defence needs.

鈥淏y redeveloping land which is no longer required by the Ministry of Defence we not only realise value for money for the taxpayer, but also provide space for homes and businesses which benefit communities.鈥�

Ben Cook, residential land director, St. Modwen, said: 鈥淢OD Ashchurch complements St.Modwen鈥檚 expertise in regeneration and our ability to think long-term and innovatively to extract the best value from large-scale sites with previous uses.

 鈥淲e are looking forward to working closely in partnership with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation and transforming this 200 acre site from its present use into a greener, sustainable, mixed-use community that will bring benefits to both the local and broader Gloucestershire economy and leave a positive legacy for the area and future generations to enjoy.鈥�
