concept and build on the foundations we have already made in the south west
region.”
Mark Perry, chief executive at Vivid said: “We’re delighted
to announce we’re working with BoKlok on this first of its kind partnership
with a housing association, having admired its innovative developments,
building both sustainable and high-quality homes.
“Vivid and BoKlok have a common vision and are aligned in our forward-thinking approach, to build more homes across a range of tenures, using the latest approach in modular construction. BoKlok is also the right partner for us with our drive to net-zero carbon.”
BoKlok and Vivid site development work will begin in 2021.
