Countryside is the UK’s leading mixed-tenure developer, bringing together modern and efficient delivery methods to create sustainable communities built to last, where people love to live.
​
It works mainly on public sector owned and brownfield land, in partnership with local authorities and housing associations to develop private, affordable and PRS homes. As a business, Countryside is one of the earliest adopters of modern methods of construction, helping to reduce the amount of construction waste, improve quality and reduce build times on site. Opening its first modular panel factory in Warrington in March 2019, Countryside is due to open their third factory in autumn 2021. Its developments include large scale regeneration projects at Beam Park, Rainham; Acton Gardens, Ealing; and Rochester Riverside, Medway.
​
Its business model is designed to be flexible and responsive to the changing need of stakeholders and the markets in which it operates, while ensuring long-term financial sustainability and growth.
