Construction News Image
London's major urban regeneration scheme, Royal Wharf has taken a major step closer to completion.

A ceremony was held at the new neighbourhood to mark the topping out of the project's final building.

When complete, Royal Wharf will deliver 3,385 new homes, complete with health centre, pharmacy, primary school, nursery, community centre, and a high street and market square with 60 retail units. The masterplan has been designed by Glenn Howells Architects.

Over 2,833 homes have been handed over to date, and when complete in 2020, the project will have been delivered at pace in an ambitious timeframe of over five years. Its pace has been achieved due to a method of construction which was first brought to the UK by Ballymore.

Sean Mulryan, Chairman and Group Chief Executive of Ballymore, and representatives from Oxley, as well as instrumental members of the construction and delivery teams at Ballymore visited the site to celebrate the final topping out ceremony.

Sean Mulryan commented: "At Royal Wharf, we've delivered thousands of new high-quality private and affordable homes with incredible haste. When we complete next year, there'll be 3,385 incredible homes, right by the river, with almost 50% open space and fantastic public amenities – not just for our residents, but also for our wider community in Newham."
