SOUTHERN HOUSING | PALLISER ROAD
Palliser Road by Southern Housing New Homes is a boutique development of 36 apartments in West Kensington – delivering high-quality, design-led homes without the area’s steep price tag. With 27 homes available through Shared Ownership and set in a prime Zone 2 location, the scheme offers first time buyers a rare opportunity to access homeownership in a borough where average prices exceed £800,000. The scheme’s regeneration is one that’s close to the heart of Southern Housing. Homes are built on the site of the former Ada Lewis House – a historic residence established in the 1920s to support vulnerable women by the wife of Samuel Lewis, the founder of the Samuel Lewis Housing Trust, which went on to become Southern Housing. Launched in 2025, the development saw exceptional demand, selling out rapidly to predominantly local buyers.
PPHA | MONARCH RISE
Monarch Rise in Layer-de-la-Haye showcases Park Properties Housing Association’s (PPHA) commitment to delivering high-quality affordable housing that meets real community need, while combining strong design, premium specification and a desirable village lifestyle. Within the 70-home development, PPHA manages 24 homes (34%) secured through a Section 106 agreement, including affordable rent and Shared Ownership. Delivered in partnership with Denbury Homes, PPHA has brought forward a product typically associated with the private market, offering contemporary kitchens with integrated Bosch appliances, Porcelanosa tiling and energy-efficient features including air source heat pumps and EV charging. A standout feature is the inclusion of a two bedroom Shared Ownership bungalow, a rare offering that broadens access to homeownership. Demand has been strong, with 100% of homes sold off-plan and 80% purchased by first time buyers, with Shared Ownership buyers securing an average 48% share. Monarch Rise demonstrates how affordable housing can be aspirational, accessible and rooted in place.
POCKET LIVING | WOODSIDE PARK N12
Woodside Park delivers 37 genuinely affordable one bedroom homes for first time buyers beside Woodside Park station; each offered at 100% ownership with a 20% discount to market value. Delivered by Pocket Living, the scheme creates a real alternative to the high cost of renting, helping local “city makers” put down roots in the community they already serve. Homes are high ceilinged, energy efficient and carefully planned around how first time buyers live, while shared spaces prioritise wellbeing and everyday social life. Two rooftop gardens provide space for exercise, shared allotments and gatherings. Designed by HTA Design in response to its leafy Barnet setting, the development uses brick detailing, generous window reveals and landscaped communal spaces to create a small, rooted neighbourhood that feels crafted, calm and genuinely liveable.
