Published: 29-Jul-2024

Deeley Group is bringing forward developments valued at over £123 million as its footprint continues to grow in the healthcare and later living sector

Deeley Group, a UK-based construction and development company, has grown significantly in the sector over the last five years and established a reputation as a leading delivery partner of care, extra care, later living, and healthcare facilities across the Midlands and surrounding areas.

The firm’s growth in the sector has been underpinned by sealing partnerships with operators including Exemplar Health Care, Housing 21, Kingsley Healthcare Group, and Preferred Homes.

Its latest partnership with Anchor, the largest not-for-profit provider of specialist housing and care for people in later life in England, will see the delivery of two new schemes worth over £55m.

This includes a £35.9m development of 137 high-quality independent living apartments in Sutton Coldfield, which is the largest development in terms of value in the history of Deeley Group’s construction arm.

Following the completion of the current pipeline of schemes, Deeley Group will have delivered 697 extra care apartments and 258 care home beds over the past five years.

Partnerships with Exemplar Health Care and Housing 21 have flourished over the last three years, with Deeley currently on-site for its fourth scheme with Exemplar and the fifth project with Housing 21.

It is hoped that two further schemes will be confirmed with Exemplar Health Care in the next 12 months, the latest scheme with Exemplar is a £6 million nursing home for adults living with complex needs in Cannock and follows hot on the heels of completion of a £5.7 million refurbishment in Leicester.

Developments have been delivered for Housing 21 in Chipping Norton, Didcot and Telford to enable over 55s to live independently with access to an on-site care team, with work in progress on a 60 apartment Extra Care scheme in Faringdon, Oxfordshire.

Deeley Group is also in the progress of delivering a second development with Kingsley Healthcare Group in Olney, near Milton Keynes, and work is well underway on a first scheme with Preferred Homes in Telford, which is valued at £17 million.

The early success of this development has led to Deeley Group securing a further project with Preferred Homes in Nottingham to deliver 73 one and two-bedroom apartments on the site of a former police station.

Eleanor Deeley, Joint Managing Director of the Deeley Group, said: "We have seen significant growth in the healthcare and later living sectors and continue to deliver high-quality developments for clients which create lasting value."

"The quality of our work has led us to expand partnerships with care providers and operators, with value engineering ensuring these schemes are cost-effective while still maintaining the highest quality," Deeley added.

Deeley Group’s financial standing has also allowed us to fund projects where required

"We have benefitted from our flexibility to be able to deliver projects in a range of environments, whether that is being part of a mixed-use scheme, linked to a medical facility or creating a community," Deeley continued. 

"Deeley Group’s financial standing has also allowed us to fund projects where required, gives our clients the comfort that we will deliver and being a family-owned business enables quick decision making to progress projects," Deeley explained.

"Our aim is to be the developer of choice for healthcare and care schemes in the Midlands and surrounding areas," Deeley concluded.
