Development

Apex has a strong track record of developing new, high-quality, large scale public housing developments of 100+ units.

Apex provides social housing and support services to meet the housing needs identified in those local communities within which they operate. Its design teams and supply chain are all experienced in working on a range of dwelling types, for example:

• General Needs Social Housing – accommodation for families or single persons who are entitled to social housing accommodation;
• Supported Housing Accommodation – accommodation for people with disabilities including those with mental health difficulties, learning disabilities, and those who are physically disabled;
• Supported Living Accommodation – residential care homes, nursing homes and domiciliary care homes that are regulated by the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA). RQIA is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Health and Personal Social Services (Quality, Improvement and Regulations) (Northern Ireland) Order 2003 and its supporting regulations; and
• Affordable Housing for Sale and Commercial – developing affordable properties for sale as part of mixed tenure developments, and commercial uses to complement a high quality mixed tenure development and to generate additional revenue to support Apex’s wider objectives.
