The housing development has recently been shortlisted for several industry awards, including Social Housing Project of the Year in the Offsite Awards.<\/p>\n<h3>The development includes the use of renewable energy sources<\/h3>\n<p>Ryan Geldard, director at M-AR added: \u201cWe put people at the heart of everything we do. We consider the needs of all stakeholders &#8211; from our build teams and clients to the local communities and people who will ultimately call our buildings home \u2013 to make sure it works for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These homes, which we\u2019ve successfully delivered in partnership with Bromley Council, are testament to this approach in action and our dedication to building relationships. This modern development also includes the use of renewable energy sources to help new residents manage utility costs making sure the apartments are truly affordable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the project, M-AR has also been able to lend its support, together with Bromley Council, to several local community projects around the sites, including donating food for children attending a four-week long summer school.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M-AR has completed a new affordable housing development in Bromley, which has been designed to provide \u2018Bromley Homes for Bromley People\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[942],"tags":[666,464,172727,656,696,99396],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172475],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-114554","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-mmc-news","7":"tag-affordable-housing","8":"tag-contributor-profile","9":"tag-featured","10":"tag-housing","11":"tag-offsite-construction","12":"tag-sh-m-ar","13":"stakeholder_rel_tag-m-ar"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>M-AR delivers new affordable housing development in Bromley<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"M-AR has completed a new affordable housing development in Bromley, which has been designed to provide \u2018Bromley Homes for Bromley People\u2019\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/m-ar-delivers-new-affordable-housing-development-in-bromley\/114554\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"M-AR delivers new affordable housing development in Bromley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"M-AR has completed a new affordable housing development in Bromley, which has been designed to provide \u2018Bromley Homes for Bromley People\u2019\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/m-ar-delivers-new-affordable-housing-development-in-bromley\/114554\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
