We’re proud to announce that Maritime Park has been named a winner at this year’s UK Property Awards, receiving recognition in the category of Best Residential Development (20+ Units) in Hampshire.
This award celebrates the transformation of the former Warsash Maritime Academy into a vibrant new coastal development and adds to Metis Homes’ growing awards collection for delivering excellence in modern living. Set on the banks of the River Hamble, Maritime Park blends heritage and contemporary living. At its heart are two Grade II listed buildings, Shackleton and Moyana, which are being restored by Juno Developments into elegant apartments that retain many original features. Surrounding these are 38 thoughtfully designed, contemporary energy-efficient new homes and apartments by Metis, arranged within a landscaped setting with direct access to the coast.
The development offers a rare combination of sea breeze, waterside living, contemporary architectural character, and modern convenience. Residents will enjoy coastal walks, close to variety of local amenities and the nearby Hook and Warsash Nature Reserve, with Southampton, Fareham, and the M27 just a short drive away.
Each home at Metis’s collection at Maritime Park is generously sized, with a wide variety of house types offering ideal living accommodation throughout. The scheme is exclusively private, designed to appeal to a wide range of buyers seeking quality, space, and a coastal lifestyle.
With sustainability at its core, our new homes feature air source heat pumps, EV charging points, solar PV panels, and a biodiversity-led landscape strategy. The result is a timeless, inclusive community that honours the site’s maritime legacy while delivering high-quality homes truly designed for modern living, with bold contemporary architecture separating them from the rest.
David Oakley, Sales & Marketing Director at Metis Homes, says:
"We’re absolutely delighted to receive this award. Maritime Park is a standout development that celebrates contemporary architecture truly designed for modern living in a coastal setting. These are all private homes, thoughtfully designed to offer generous living spaces and a genuine connection to the water with the sea breeze an eternal feature of the environment. Maritime Park is unique among new housing developments locally and it is fantastic to see the quality and vision behind the scheme recognised at a national level."
The UK Property Awards are part of the globally respected International Property Awards, which honour excellence across the property industry. Winners are selected by an independent panel of industry experts, making this a meaningful endorsement of the scheme’s quality.
The award not only celebrates the hard work of our team and partners but also reinforces the value and desirability of owning a home at Maritime Park. Our customers can now proudly say they live in an award-winning development.
