Our flagship development brings listed architecture, parkland and resident amenities together in a long-term vision for later living.
Phase 1 operational since January 2026
The Sandars estate and its lakeside setting
The former Cemex headquarters presented a rare opportunity to give a complex heritage site a lasting new use. Listed buildings, a Green Belt setting and existing facilities required a coordinated approach to planning and viability.
Eden acquired the site in 2020 and secured planning permission in 2022. The approach brings heritage conversion, construction delivery and resident services together, retaining the estate’s swimming pool, gym, restaurant and communal spaces.
Phase 1 comprises 57 retirement apartments and has been operational since January 2026, with resident occupations ongoing. Further phases form part of the wider estate strategy and remain subject to their respective approvals and delivery programmes.
