Work To Begin On £350m Housing Development In Co Antrim
Work is to start on one of Northern Ireland's largest housing development schemes in Co Antrim.
The £350 million housing development at Readers Park in Ballyclare is also expected to create around 600 jobs.
The Neptune Group acquired the 165 acre site last year.
Outline planning permission for the 1,800 homes has been granted and full planning permission for 123 homes at either end of the zoned land.
Work on 64 of the homes will begin imminently and the scheme is expected to take around 20 years to complete.
Neptune Group Director Creighton Boyd said: "There is a real demand for high quality homes in Northern Ireland and we're delighted to be supplying such a large number in order to help meet this demand.
"We pride ourselves on building homes to a high standard both in terms of design and quality and we’re very much looking forward to beginning work and ensuring each new home has the Neptune stamp of approval."
