Mariners Quay wins prestigious UK Sustainable Housing Award
At a special environmentally friendly awards ceremony held in London last week, Mariner’s Quay in Newport scooped the UK Sustainable Large Housing Project of the Year award, sponsored by United House.

The Sustainable Housing Awards were organised by Inside Housing magazine and its sister publication, Sustainable Housing. This is the fourth year that the Sustainable Housing Awards have taken place and the calibre of submissions was extremely high. Mariner’s Quay beat off stiff competition from more than 140 entrants from all around the country.

Mariner’s Quay is the largest residential scheme in Wales built to level 5 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. There to collect the awards were representatives from the Seren Group, along with its partners, Leadbitter Group, Davis Langdon, Powell Dobson Architects, R V W Consulting, Hoare Lea, Asbri Planning, Anthony Jellard Associates, Newport City Council, Newport Unlimited and the Welsh Government.

Darrell Bolton, Corporate Director said, “We are delighted that Mariners Quay has received the recognition it so richly deserves. What has been achieved would not have been possible without the shared vision and commitment of our partners to create homes of the future here in Newport. Sustainability remains at the forefront of both the housing and political agenda and working in partnership we will continue to innovate and deliver high quality, sustainable homes.”
