Construction has begun on a new £5.2 million regional headquarters for a major housebuilder.
The new 18,500 sq ft two-storey building for Bloor Homes just south of Lichfield is expected to open in early 2026.
It will accommodate the firm’s existing 50 members of staff – currently based in Tamworth – with the capacity to train and develop more to support the region’s housing needs.
The site near the junction of the M6 toll, the A5 and the A38 has been chosen for its ability to service the whole operating areas of the Midlands quickly and efficiently.
Paul Degg, Managing Director for Bloor Homes’ Midlands region, said: “Planning a new office is an opportunity to futureproof our entire working environment. We are aiming for BREEAM Excellent certification with the new building including a range of sustainability features such as 160 solar panels, 20 electric vehicle charging points, permeable paving and a sustainable urban drainage system. It will also include car parking, landscaping, draining and infrastructure.”
He added: “This is a significant investment to grow our teams as we continue to deliver high quality new homes across the Midlands region, whilst also providing future generations with a firm foundation for ongoing success.”
Coventry-based Deeley Construction is working as the construction partner.
Construction Director Steve Turner said: “This is the second project we have delivered for Bloor Homes and it is great to strengthen our partnership with one of the UK’s largest housebuilders.
“We have a proven track record of building sustainable workspaces that allow clients to expand, grow and enhance their operations.
“This is a project with green features at its core, incorporating a significant number of solar panels and electric vehicle charging points which will support it in achieving a high sustainability standard.”
