Elivia Homes has promoted Steve Brownlie to Land and Development Director for its Eastern region. Steve transitions from the company’s Central region, where he joined as Head of Land in 2015 and was later promoted to a director role.
In his new position, Steve will lead the Eastern region’s land acquisition and planning strategy. His appointment comes at a pivotal time, as the business continues its rapid growth, with recent land and planning successes in Buxted, Blackboys, and Turners Hill.
Elivia’s Eastern region, the newest addition to the company’s portfolio, was formed following the acquisition of Millwood Designer Homes in January 2023 and a successful rebrand last year.
Steve’s extensive housebuilding career began in 2001 as a land agent, quickly progressing into a land buying role with Cliveden Homes. Since then, he has risen through the ranks, establishing himself as a skilled and successful senior land manager before joining Elivia Homes.
Commenting on his promotion, Steve said:
“I’m thrilled to join our Eastern business and take on a range of developments already under contract, while also supporting the rapidly growing land opportunities available to us. Elivia is an ambitious company with a strong appetite for expanding its development portfolio, and I’m excited to further develop my expertise in land acquisition, planning, and related areas. Peter has made significant progress since becoming Managing Director of the Eastern region, and I’m excited to work with him again after our eight years together in the Central region.”
Peter Hutson, Managing Director of Elivia Homes Eastern added:
“Steve’s promotion to Land and Development Director is a testament to the crucial role he has played in Elivia Homes’ growth since joining us nine years ago. In the Central region, he consistently delivered high-quality developments that have had a lasting impact on our business. His expertise, dedication, and proven track record make him the ideal leader for our Land and Development team in the Eastern region. Personally, I’m delighted to be working with Steve again after my own move from the Central region in March.”
