Our Development Work
St Vincent’s is a developing housing association and a member of the Northern Lights Group.
Creating homes where people want to live is one of our key roles as a housing association. We are committed to developing new affordable homes each year in the in the North West and West Yorkshire areas. From inner-city regeneration projects to small rural housing developments and specialised supported housing schemes, our focus is on high quality design and sustainability in our building work.
Our development team includes experienced project managers who work a wide range of Partners, Local Authorities, The Homes and Communities Agency, PCT’s Developers, Communities, Individuals and Groups to deliver the homes that are needed. Much of this work takes place with grant funding and we can deliver affordable rented housing, low cost home ownership and market rented schemes.
We are committed to sustainable development principles, both in terms of creating stable communities and in promoting energy efficient homes which have a low environmental impact.
We pride ourselves on our pragmatic and straight forward approach to development, always ensuring that we respond decisively to our partners to ensure smooth delivery of projects.
We are always interested to hear from land owners and private individuals as well as developers in respect of Section 106 planning requirements. If you'd like to contact us about out development work click here.

Pavilion Court, Bury
St Vincent’s Housing Association is due to complete a development
of 24 new affordable 2 bedroom apartments at Pavilion Court,
Bridge Hall Drive in Bury, almost 40 years since its first affordable
housing scheme built in 1971, also in Bury.
The development marks St Vincent’s welcome return to the Bury
housing market, after the association was selected in 2009 as one
of the borough’s new Joint Commissioning Partners.
The scheme is being built in partnership with Blackpool based Melrose Developments, and is part funded with £1.3m investment from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).
The two-bedroom apartments aim to be the first residential development in Bury to meet Level 3 of the Code for Sustainable Homes, which will mean that they will be more efficient economically and more environmentally friendly that traditionally built schemes.
