Orbit Homes

Orbit was established in 1967 by a small but pioneering group of business people who wanted to make sure everyone could live in a good quality, affordable home. The passion they felt was channelled into positive action, and Orbit was created.

Our purpose today is every bit as important as it was when we were founded. We provide landlord services to over 47,000 properties and build around 1,000 quality new homes each year. Our aim is to ensure the homes we provide and the communities we create are high quality, affordable, safe and sustainable and really become your place to thrive.

In everything we do, we are committed to improving the long-term prospects of society. We do this through taking steps to protect our planet, investing in a range of projects to support communities, families and individuals, and ensuring we have in place sustainable working and excellent employment practices.

Award Comments
Park East is the latest phase of a wider initiative to regenerate two estates in Erith, in the London Borough of Bexley. The £120m Park East scheme followed on directly from Erith Park and many of the delivery team members transferred from the first scheme to the second, bringing accumulated knowledge and experience.
Between the two schemes, around 900 households have been moved from substandard accommodation and a similar number of new homes for market sale, rent and shared ownership have been built by partners Orbit and Wates.
A multidisciplinary project team included a member of the local council’s  regeneration team, funded by Orbit, whose main role was as a common channel of communication with the council.
The result of the collaboration is a thoughtfully designed scheme, with a high level of specification and architectural detail. A palpable community feel has been
generated at what is an exemplar of estate regeneration.
