Mace To Build 524-Home Development Near Olympic Park
Mace is to build a new 523-home development adjacent to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.
UK build to rent provider, Get Living appointed Mace to deliver the £180 million N06 East Village project.
The homes will be available for private rental, bringing the total number of homes in the neighbourhood to 2,500.
It consists of two towers, at 26 and 31 storeys, and two ten storey pavilions, connected by a sky-bridge. It also includes a landscaped private courtyard, outdoor terraces with views over Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and shared amenity space for all residents. The buildings have been designed by architects Hawkins Brown, with Walsh as structural engineer and ChapmanBDSP as services engineer.
Construction is due to commence in December 2018, following completion of enabling works on the site.
Shaun Tate, a Director for Mace, said: "This is an appointment we are very proud of. N06 is an architecturally innovative development that will provide a unique living and working environment. Over the last two years, we have worked closely with Get Living on the delivery of N08 East Village and built a fantastic working relationship. It takes a close partnership between client and contractor to be effective, particularly when seeking to drive innovation in the construction sector.
"The use of our ground-breaking rising factory on N08 has driven very positive results and we look forward to developing this further with the next phase of East Village."
Neil Young, CEO of Get Living added: "N06 is East Village's gateway to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and these new homes, retail and public space will add to the vibrancy of the existing neighbourhood. Over the past five years we've learnt what a great home, neighbourhood and rental experience looks like. It's this experience that has guided the development of N06 and we're now excited to see Mace appointed to bring that vision to life.
"Mace has been a brilliant partner at N08, working closely with us to be a good neighbour to the East Village community during its construction. We're confident Mace will continue this approach at N06 and through this important next phase for East Village."
