The 2,000-unit development of affordable homes for Islanders to purchase is due to be completed by the end of the year.

To mark the ‘major milestone’ of the final slab being poured, developers GR Langlois invited representatives of Andium Homes and the social housing developer’s board to join them.

Former Senator Terry Le Main was chosen as the guest who would pour the final section of concrete, in recognition of what an Andium spokeswoman described as his ‘earlier involvement in championing this site for affordable homes’.
