A significant milestone has been celebrated in the construction of 120 new council homes at Cambridge Investment Partnership’s (CIP) East Barnwell development in the Abbey ward of Cambridge, with a topping-out event marking the highest point of the project build. 

The new development replaces 18 ageing flats with 120 new council homes. 48 of these will be ‘social rent’, the council rent most people will be familiar with, which is set at around 35% to 40% of the local market rent. 72 will be affordable rent, available at around 80% of the local market rent, supporting local workers who may not be eligible for traditional council homes but struggle to pay high rents in the city. Four of the new homes have been specifically designed for people with disabilities. The sustainable gas-free properties will include a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom maisonettes, with a strong focus on reducing carbon emissions, energy bills, and annual maintenance costs. 

The full site is currently due to be completed in 2027, the library and preschool will be leased to Cambridgeshire County Council, with the council looking to lease the pre-school to Seesaw. Cambridge City Council will retain ownership of the community centre as part of its strategic approach to support communities.
