McAleer & Rushe has been appointed by property developer Knight Dragon to deliver 300 new homes in London’s Greenwich Peninsula.
As main contractor for the M0121 project, McAleer & Rushe will deliver two residential buildings, ranging in height from seven to 30 storeys.
Construction has officially started on site following a groundbreaking ceremony earlier this month.
The housing project will be developed as part of Knight Dragon’s wider regeneration scheme to create nearly 17,500 new homes in the area, as well as cultural spaces and community facilities.
Jonathan O’Neill, senior director at McAleer & Rushe, said: “We’re delighted to be entrusted with the delivery of this visionary residential scheme. M0121 marks an exciting next chapter in the continued transformation of Greenwich Peninsula and represents a strong addition to our growing portfolio of large-scale regeneration projects in Greenwich.
“We look forward to fostering a long-term partnership with Knight Dragon as we bring much-needed, sustainable homes to this thriving riverside area, while strengthening our ongoing relationship with the local community to leave a lasting, positive legacy.”
Ben Bateman, head of construction at Knight Dragon, added: “This is an important milestone for Greenwich Peninsula, as we progress at pace to deliver 300 new homes for London.
“Our ambitious masterplan will see nearly 17,500 new homes delivered in total, alongside green spaces, community amenities, schools and a new transport hub.”
