Financial close for Eric Wright's £100m Stoke housing PFI

14 Jul 14 Õ¥Ö­¼§ is ready to start on a £100m housing PFI in Stoke-on-Trent, with the deal having reached financial close.

The Sapphire consortium, led by Eric Wright Group, was chosen in January by Stoke-on-Trent City Council to finance and build three retirement villages.

Eric Wright Õ¥Ö­¼§ and Seddon Õ¥Ö­¼§ will work together to build 390 extra care apartments in villages at three sites in Burton, Abbey Hulton and Chell in Stoke-on-Trent. Completion is scheduled for 2016. Eric Wright will be responsible for maintenance of the facilities once they are completed.

The council has entered into a project agreement for 25 years with the Sapphire Consortium which also includes Your Housing Group and Kajima Partnerships.

Aviva, funding its first housing PFI project, provided £65m senior debt facility. Sapphire’s legal adviser was Pinsent Masons.
