Housing association Vivid Housing has appointed PMC 萝莉原创 as the principal contractor for the first phase of its Victory Quay development.
Victory Quay is a long-unused brownfield site at Tipner East on Portsmouth鈥檚 northern waterfront. It is earmarked for a development of 835 new homes of varying tenures, with Vivid bringing forward 183 units in the first phase in partnership with Portsmouth City Council and Homes England.
PMC 萝莉原创, a 拢50m-turnover contractor that is based in Portsmouth, is now starting the groundworks and site preparation.
Its contract for the first phase includes:
- raising and preparing the land to make it ready for building
- completing the new sea wall flood defences
- putting in utilities and roads to connect the new homes along with a coastal path
- constructing 183 new homes.
Vivid development and new business director Tristan Samuels said: 鈥淰ictory Quay is about more than building homes 鈥� it鈥檚 about building futures. Phase one lays the foundation and sets the tone for everything we鈥檙e building here, and the appointment of PMC 萝莉原创, a local contractor who understands the importance of this site to the city, marks a key moment in turning vision into reality. Their experience and collaborative approach give us confidence as we move into the delivery stage 鈥� bringing forward the first homes and the beginnings of a new community."
PMC 萝莉原创 managing director Steve Cripps said: 鈥淰ictory Quay will be the new gateway to the city. This development is a real statement by Vivid and we鈥檙e proud to be involved. It will breathe new life into land that鈥檚 been unused for many years, creating a vibrant new residential area, offering much-needed housing, as well as employment and training opportunities for local people and suppliers.鈥�
The first homes are expected to be ready for Vivid鈥檚 tenants in late 2026.
