DEVELOPERS are celebrating the completion of its award-winning Poole property The Sloop.

Affordable housing partner, AJC Group, have marked the final milestone of its largest development, located in the heart of Poole.

The team gathered on the communal terrace for a traditional ribbon cutting ceremony and glass of Champagne.

The Poole-based company was also celebrating its recent double win at the South Coast Property Awards 2024.

AJC Group celebrated its win of Housebuilder of the Year and Residential Development of the Year for The Sloop.

Sebastian Janes, managing director of AJC Group, said: “We are thrilled to have completed our flagship development, The Sloop.

“These homes are in a stand-out location, within an easy walk of Ashley Cross and Poole Park, and boast stand-out views from the communal roof terrace.

“The Sloop is our largest project to date, and one our most high-tech with a raft of energy saving features and an innovative underground smart bin system - a first for us at AJC Group and the first major subterranean bin system for the whole of Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole.

“We would like to thank everyone who was involved with this project - our local suppliers, contractors and most importantly our team.

“Without their commitment and hard work, we would not be standing on this roof terrace now, and we would not be celebrating our incredible award wins.”

The Sloop, on Commercial Road, consists of 86 studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments for sale and rent.

The site was previously the home of The Sloop pub, which had lay vacant for several years.
