We've been recognised in national building awards
Our new Peterborough city centre development, Indigo, is shortlisted in two categories of the prestigious Building Awards 2025. The 315 home development delivered is in the running for ‘Housing Project of the Year’ and the ‘Modern Methods of Construction’ awards.
Built over nine storeys, taking advantage of cathedral views and a convenient central location, Indigo is the largest development CKH has delivered to date. Working with development contractor, Willmott Dixon, and property consultants, Drees & Sommer UK, we delivered this project with a focus on sustainable construction and sustainable living.
The development has been recognised for its use of modern construction techniques, such as light gauge steel framing and off-site manufacturing, which saw construction times reduced by an estimated 20 to 30 percent compared to traditional methods. The accuracy of these methods also benefits Indigo’s residents, because the high environmental performance of their new homes will have a positive impact on energy bills.
Our Chief Executive, Claire Higgins, said: “Indigo has been underway for two-and-a-half-years and has required a huge team effort. It is extremely rewarding to see that our homes at Indigo have not only proven to be popular with the people who need them, but are also recognised as a great example of an effective, modern development.”
The building offers 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and duplexes, as well as 37 townhouses, which have been snapped up very quickly due to their sub-market rent charges - set at 80% of private rent levels. Indigo has already welcomed a thriving and diverse community of new residents with a connection to Peterborough and a joint income of no more than £80,000 a year.
We will learn if we walk away with the top prize at the awards evening in November.
