57 High Street, Trumpington, Cambridge

Development of 14 new, traditional-style apartments

Completed Spring 2016
Build cost £1.5 million

The client was MPM Properties Ltd, a well-respected local developer and we were appointed following a competitive tender on a Design & Build contract.

The site is on one of the main arterial access roads in to Cambridge city centre from the south. The development was constructed on the site of a former petrol filling station with historic contamination issues.

Piled foundations led the way to a traditional construction and appearance above.  Modern techniques included separating floors and walls, renewable energy solutions and complex service and drainage installations.

A challenging development which profiled our technical expertise and the value of good working relationships in order to fulfil a client’s brief.

Testimonial

“As a high profile development site, we needed to work with a construction company who understood its significance. From the outset, it was a very close working relationship with Dean & Dean and we appreciated its professional input on the project as the build progressed.

“It was never going to be a straightforward build but the challenges posed were overcome by all parties working towards the shared goal.

“The end result is a high quality development of 14 brand new homes which act as showcase for us, as the developer, and Dean & Dean as the builder and we look forward to working with Dean & Dean again.”
