First resident moves into second phase of apartments at Indigo
The first resident has moved into the second phase of apartments at Indigo, located in Peterborough city centre.
Mary Webster was the first resident to move into the second wing of Indigo, known as Cornflower House, following the completion of the second phase of apartments earlier this month.
Mary said: “I'm so pleased with my new flat. I used to live over in Walton and the rent was just becoming too much for me, as I rely on my pension. I struck gold with Indigo as I'm now saving every month on my rent and I'm central to everything I need. My family have all been to see the flat and they're blown away by the quality.”
“It's actually a double win for me as I was handed the keys in time to get everything in for me to have my birthday in my brand new home. I have lots of double celebration cards for the occasion!”
The keys to Mary’s new apartment were handed over by our Home Ownership & Lettings Manager, Peter Howard and the Assistant Director of Housing Needs, Ali Manji.
Peter added: “I’m delighted that we have been able to welcome the first resident into Cornflower House so soon after we fully let our first phase of apartments. Indigo is a great addition to Peterborough city centre and has been extremely popular to date, so we don’t expect it will be too long before they are all rented out. I am very much looking forward to welcoming even more residents to Indigo in the coming weeks and to see Indigo completed in the coming months once we receive the final town houses and commercial unit from our development contractor, Willmott Dixon.”
The £70 million development scheme, which has received £12.5 million grant funding from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined (Mayoral) Authority, will provide 315 much needed high-quality homes in total offering a range of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and duplexes across two connected wings.
Indigo apartments are being marketed at sub-market rent levels - set at 80% of private rent levels and are suitable for anyone who has a connection to Peterborough with a joint income of no more than £80,000 a year.

Our Chief Executive, Claire Higgins, said: “It is fantastic to see the community at Indigo continue to grow and I hope Mary will be truly happy living there.
“Since August we have completed building over 400 new homes, of which more than 300 have been within the Peterborough area and we have around 200 more new homes being built within Peterborough currently. These will be completed in the next six months. Peterborough continues to be our core area of development where we are committed to investing not only in new homes but in services too and our new homes at Indigo are a great example of how we are also helping to support the local city centre economy. It is difficult to find any other provider who has delivered any more new homes in this region, and I am very proud of the work Cross Keys Homes has done to increase affordable housing supply this year.”
