A new venture in Somerset

Fortitudo has acquired a superb opportunity in Bath which has detailed planning consent to deliver 25 apartments. This is Fortitudo’s first venture in the historic city and we are very excited to bring forward a development in a new area. Work is due to commence in early 2022.

Site acquired

Fortitudo are delighted to have acquired The Kings Arms pub in Longham, with a planning application due to be submitted shortly for a new residential scheme. Development proposals will be released soon!

Completion

We are pleased to announce that we have completed the purchase of 20 Chewton Farm Road in Christchurch. The scheme will compromise of 14 luxury apartments with secure basement parking, designed to complement the tree-lined, highly sought after location at the entrance to the Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa. Planning was secured by Fortitudo back in December 2020 and construction is due to start soon.

Planning approved

Fortitudo has secured planning for 6 two-bedroom apartments on the corner of Herbert Avenue and Ringwood Road in Poole. The vacant site fell into a dilapidated condition following the closure of the convenience store that previously operated from the property, and since then has been subject to anti-social behaviour. Construction will begin in the coming […]

Contract awarded

Fortitudo has appointed Acheson Construction to build our first industrial development consisting of 27 new industrial units situated on Lufton Trading Estate in Yeovil. A renowned construction company, we hope this will be the start of a long working partnership.

Our contractors have been busy piling foundations and installing ring beams, have raised the levels for flooding and started the concrete frame. We can’t wait to see its progression, watch this space…

Site exchanged

We’re pleased to announce that Fortitudo has exchanged contracts on 3.6 acres of industrial land in Bournemouth. The site is part of Magna Park, just off of Magna Road and will compromise 48 industrial/business units. This is the second industrial site we have acquired following great success in Yeovil for a 27 unit scheme.

Completion with planning

Fortitudo is happy to share that we have completed on Artillery 88 in Yeovil with plans approved for 27 self-contained commercial units with allocated parking.
