Places For People

Places work when they have good homes.

At Places for People, we don't just build houses, we create and manage places. With 50 years' experience in placemaking, we know what makes communities thrive.

We build thousands of well-designed, innovative homes across the UK each year, but as a Group, we do so much more than that…

Award Comments
A placemaking giant, Places for People has so many strings to its bow, using its vast and varied skills sets to deliver affordable, multitenure, sustainable communities across the UK with a mix of MMC and traditional construction in its building portfolio.

Chapeltown is a fine example of urban design, which will eventually comprise 8,000 homes, open green spaces, local shops, and close-knit neighbourhood squares. The success of any development lies both with its attention to detail and its strategy. Clearly, the intention was to create a sustainable environment, with a thriving community at its heart, that respects the vernacular of traditional Scottish towns. Places for People has fulfilled that commitment.

A family of companies, thinking as one.

From affordable housing to retirement homes to city apartments, we make places where community comes first, and home starts long before you reach the front door.
