Orbit has unveiled its target to deliver 5,700 new homes and ‘regeneration properties’ in the next six years, as part of its new corporate strategy.

The 47,000-home housing association has said it will also increase its land-led, direct build capacity and aim to become the partner of choice for Homes England and local authorities in its operational area, which spans the Midlands, East and the South-east.

Orbit has said that 75% of the 5,700 homes will be affordable, split equally between social rent and shared ownership, and 25% will be for market sale.
