Vistry Group, the provider of mixed-tenure homes, has signed contracts with Sigma Capital Group, a provider of Build To Rent Housing (BTR), for the development of 153 homes at Linby Meadows, Nottinghamshire.
The homes form part of Vistry’s 763-home development, 2km north of Hucknall town centre at Top Wighay, which has been hailed as Nottinghamshire County Council’s (NCC) flagship mixed-use scheme.
It will feature two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes, maisonettes and apartments, of which 269 will be available for the affordable market, 153 BTR homes through Sigma and the remaining 341 homes available on the open market through Vistry’s Linden, Bovis and Countryside Homes brands.
Rory Keys, acquisitions and investment director, Sigma, said: “We’re delighted to be part of this flagship development site with our partners, Vistry. Once built, these homes will be available via Sigma’s BTR brand, Simple Life, offering the local community high quality, professionally managed, pet friendly homes to rent.
“Sigma has a strong history in regeneration and place making and we are looking forward to being part of what is set to be a thriving, new community at Linby Meadows.”
Andy Reynolds, managing director of Vistry Group’s partnerships division in the South East Midlands, said: “We are delighted to be working with Sigma to provide these much-needed new family rental homes at Linby Meadows, Hucknall.
“Over the past year, we have consulted with the community to finalise the details of the scheme and ensure it meets local people’s needs and now we are on site, ready to create a new community of high-quality, mixed-tenure properties for people in the area to call home.”
The land was acquired from the Council in March 2025 triggering the start of a £6m investment to bolster local services. This includes £4.75m for education, £800,000 for highways and bus improvements, and £436,000 towards healthcare. The scheme also includes new parks, sports facilities, wildlife corridors, pedestrian and cycle routes, and a new primary school.
This development will also house an on-site Skills Academy in partnership with Chameleon School of Construction.
