Nexity launches a new scheme in Hallennes-Lez-Haubourdin

Nexity is launching a new scheme in the Porte des Weppes eco-district in Hallennes-Lez-Haubourdin. The homes follow the company's new concept, Nexity Access Design.

The 120-home development is being led by the practice Arlab, with Ekko as engineering consultant.

The homes will combine timber, steel and concrete. Through these techniques, the developer intends to cut construction times to 10 to 12 months (instead of 15 to 18), to achieve a stated carbon footprint and to obtain the BBC label. Nexity wants to reach young professionals looking for housing suited to their budget in urban or peri-urban areas. The sale price per m² will be 10 to 15% below the local market price, making it possible to offer homes that are affordable to first-time buyers in urban settings.

The development, set on a 10-hectare site, will ultimately comprise 323 homes: detached houses on self-build plots, grouped houses, small apartment buildings of two or even three storeys with shops and services at ground level, and intermediate housing of one storey. For Nexity, this is the fourth scheme of its kind, after Brest (29), Guignes (77) and Reignier (74).
