Demolition work is well underway at the former 1960s-built Malmesbury Field retirement home, in Brighton Hill, while work to turn Windmill Court in Mortimer Common, near Tadley, is also progressing.
Stepnell is delivering the schemes on behalf of Sovereign Network Group (SNG), with both developments scheduled for completion in June 2027.

Malmesbury Field will be redeveloped to create a sustainable residential community comprising 12 houses and nine flats, all allocated for affordable rent.
Rob Speirs, director at Stepnell, said: "Securing these two schemes on the Affordable Homes Framework is a fantastic opportunity to transform two brownfield sites into high-quality and sustainable communities.
"We’re bringing our expertise in residential and public sector delivery, along with social value initiatives, to deliver these high impact projects."
The Windmill Court development will deliver 24 homes with a mix of tenures including social rent, shared ownership and private sale.
Stepnell plans to use a variety of sustainable construction techniques, such as timber frame construction, photovoltaic systems, and off-site manufactured Nuspan insulated flooring.
Stepnell's joinery division, Lawford Bespoke Joinery, will provide custom-built staircases, while its renewable energy arm, Step Energy, will deliver solar panels and electric vehicle charging points.
Mr Speirs said: "Both schemes will be managed through Stepnell’s Southampton office, drawing on the team’s extensive residential expertise to ensure a strong local presence throughout construction.
"We will be working closely with supply chain partners to deliver meaningful social value commitments, including apprenticeship opportunities and delivering mental health roadshows for the local communities across both schemes, aligning with the core values of SNG for these works and the future pipeline of projects on the Affordable Homes Framework."
Stepnell is one of 22 contractors appointed to the Affordable Homes Framework, which aims to deliver 25,000 new homes as part of SNG’s £10.9 billion, ten-year investment plan.
Satwinder Kukadia, development delivery director (South) at SNG, said: "Our commitment to delivering good affordable homes and transforming communities in Basingstoke and Deane and West Berkshire continues as we begin work at these two sites.
"These projects are replacing older buildings with well-designed affordable homes.
"By working to our sector-leading Homes and Place Standard, we’re ensuring these homes will be comfortable, spacious, and energy efficient."
