Energy Efficient Tower Proposed for Milton Keynes

19/6/23

Plans are currently being considered by Milton Keynes City Council for a £100 million scheme put forward by build-to-rent developers and operators, PLATFORM_. The proposal comprises a 20-storey development of mixed-use space. The proposed development will follow the successful delivery of projects by PLATFORM_ in Cardiff, Sheffield, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.

The residential tower will provide 355 new homes offering energy-efficient heating, smart technology, and sustainable design. It will also deliver 8,000 sqft of residential amenities alongside landscaped exteriors. PLATFORM_ also plans to include commercial use spaces.

Energy efficiency and sustainability will be integral focuses within the design. This forms part of the PLATFORM_ commitment to achieve carbon neutral operations by 2030. Plans include the installation of solar technology, air-source heat pumps, and renewable energy sources. The low carbon building will also provide charging points for electric vehicles.

CEO of PLATFORM_ Jean-Marc Vandevivere, said of the proposed plans: "PLATFORM_ MK will contribute to bridging the gap between demand and supply of high-quality homes in the city centre while setting new standards for design, service, and quality."
