Borden Gates
Andover
High Quality Residential in Historic Town
A high quality residential development at the very heart of Andover town centre, on an important gateway site; and will act as a catalyst for wider regeneration.
Affordable Homes at Andover’s Gateway
Our Borden Gates project in Andover transforms a former 1980s Sainsbury’s site into a vibrant, sustainable community. Positioned at a key gateway where Bridge Street meets Western Avenue, this brownfield development is central to the town’s regeneration and aligns with Test Valley Borough Council’s Future of Andover Masterplan.
Delivered in partnership with Donard Affordable Homes, the scheme provides 71 high-quality, affordable homes. A mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments designed to national space standards. Ground-floor retail units ensure active street frontages, while the design reinstates historic street patterns disrupted by past road schemes. The architecture draws inspiration from Andover’s Georgian and Victorian heritage, reinterpreting traditional features such as varied rooflines and brick detailing in a contemporary way.
Located in the town centre, the development promotes sustainable living. Residents will enjoy excellent connectivity, with Andover Station just 15 minutes away, offering direct links to London Waterloo in just over an hour. Nearby amenities and green spaces – including the River Anton Riverside Park and Anton Lakes Nature Reserve – support health and well-being.
Borden Gates is more than housing; it’s a catalyst for economic and social renewal. By repopulating the town centre, supporting local businesses and enhancing the evening economy, this project sets a benchmark for thoughtful urban regeneration. It reflects our commitment to creating homes people are proud of, helping community and breathing new life into Andover’s historic heart.
