About us

Places work when they have good homes.

At Places for People, we don't just build houses, we create and manage places. With 50 years' experience in placemaking, we know what makes communities thrive.

We build thousands of well-designed, innovative homes across the UK each year, but as a Group, we do so much more than that…

Our approach

Placemaking is at the heart of our approach. It guides everything we do, from the smallest detail to the most visionary masterplan.

Our approach

Our awards
