Places for People partners with Swedish builder
One of the UK’s largest housing associations has partnered with a Swedish housebuilder to deliver homes in Milton Keynes.
Places for People will build 39 homes in an £18m joint venture with the sustainable builder Trivselhus, in its first full development in the UK. The homes will be fitted with smart home technology from Apple.
The housing association, which owns or manages 195,000 homes across the UK, already has a 2,500-home development near the Sommar Place scheme, called Brooklands.
David Cowans, group chief executive at Places for People, said: “Places for People is committed to driving innovation that improves the quality of life in our communities – that’s why we’re delighted to be partnering with Trivselhus on this ground-breaking development.”

The manufacturing technology provided by Trivselhus means that the homes are very energy efficient, Places for People added.
Ken Forster, managing director of Trivselhus, said: “This is the first development we have undertaken with Places for People, and are looking forward to expanding this partnership with future innovative developments across the UK.”
