The \u00a369m Milton Keynes build to rent scheme will see a Buckinghamshire office block converted into 237 high-quality apartments, by Urban Village Group<\/h2>\n

Proposals have been submitted for a new Milton Keynes build to rent<\/a> development \u2013 Westminster House<\/a>. The plans will see the conversion of the former AGF House at Avebury Boulevard into 237 apartments over six floors.<\/p>\n

Proposals include a range of high-specification residential units and recreational features such as a resident\u2019s workplace and gym, communal entertainment facility and cinema. As well as provision for secure resident\u2019s parking and CCTV.<\/p>\n

Construction could begin early next year once planning consent is achieved.<\/p>\n

High-quality apartments will address growing need for homes in Milton Keynes city centre<\/h3>\n

Located in the centre of Milton Keynes, Westminster House is within walking distance of the Central Shopping Centre and is only eight minutes walk from Milton Keynes Central overground train station.<\/p>\n

\u201cSignificant scope for major growth in the build to rent sector\u201d<\/h3>\n

Urban Village Group chief executive officer Nick Sellman said: \u201cThere is a strong and growing demand for homes in the private rented sector and our Westminster House development will help to address the growing requirement in the Milton Keynes region.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, there are 4.5 million households in England now renting, representing 20% of the market, which has increased from 10% in 2001. In the next 15 to 20 years, more people are expected to rent rather than own their own homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the national housing shortage<\/a> continues, with an average 200,000 homes built each year against a Government target of 300,000, there is significant scope for major growth in the build to rent sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Revitalization of Milton Keynes\u2019 city centre through new development of high-quality homes<\/h3>\n

Developments director Graham Haydon-White said: \u201cWe are looking forward to creating an exciting new development of high-quality homes right in the very heart of Milton Keynes\u2019 city centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be transforming an empty and unloved office building into a place people will really enjoy coming home to, with all the shopping and leisure facilities right on their doorstep.\u201d<\/p>\n
