Geography and growth

Providing the homes people want, where they are needed is one of the key aims of Longhurst Group's Improving Lives 2025 strategy.

To achieve our strategy's ambitious vision of developing up to 700 new homes a year, Longhurst Group is keen to talk to you about Section 106 opportunities, contractor-led package deals and land-led opportunities.

We have the experience, skills and capacity to share risk on larger mixed tenure developments and joint venture contract arrangements.

Keystone Developments

Keystone was originally formed in 2001 to meet the growing demand for purpose-designed retirement living developments.

Its remit has expanded, acting as the primary investment vehicle for development joint ventures. Keystone also supports Longhurst Group by offering an alternative brand and marketing strategy for mixed tenure developments.

Longhurst Group brings a demonstrable track record of flexible partnership working, an unwavering commitment to high quality design and improved environmental standards to every development opportunity.

Our principal driver is providing a long-lasting legacy in local communities, by ensuring local people are given opportunity to benefit from our developments, together with a focus on long-term sustainability and high quality stewardship.
