Monday 12th October 2009Building work has started on a new low carbon housing scheme on Portland in Dorset. Sustainable developer ZeroC, in partnership with the South West Regional Development Agency (RDA) is building 77 low carbon homes on RDA-owned land at Osprey Quay.

The project is the latest step in the RDA’s £40 million regeneration of the former Royal Navy Air Station which has been selected as the venue for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games sailing events.
Andrew MacMillan-Scott, Ashfords’ Partner who closed the deal, said: “We are delighted to have brought this property deal to a successful conclusion. We have advised the RDA on a number of significant transactions in the regeneration of Osprey Quay and are very pleased to have been involved in this latest stage."
