Construction News Image
Chatham Waters' second residential building overlooking the River Medway been completed.

This takes the total number of new homes at Peel L&P's waterfront development to almost 400.

Partners have celebrated the completion of The Kell, a joint venture between Peel L&P and real estate investment manager, developer and operator Long Harbour, offering a total 192 one, two and three-bed apartments.

The building is located next door to X1 Development’s 199-home The Manica building which welcomed residents in December last year.

The Kell, which received planning permission in October 2018, features ground floor retail space, rooftop gardens, a waterfront boulevard and alfresco dining areas. The development will be managed by Way of Life.

Just 36 minutes from London St Pancras by train, Chatham Waters offers residential, commercial, retail, leisure and education space. The 26-acre destination is already home to a University Technical College, Marston’s family restaurant, Asda Superstore and extensive public realm.

Following the completion of The Kell, circa 400 of the 950 homes which have planning approval at Chatham Waters are now finished and just last week Peel L&P announced contract exchanges with Legal & General Affordable Homes and specialist healthcare provide Montpelier Estates to bring another 300+ homes, subject to planning consent to Chatham Waters, including affordable housing and homes for people with care needs.

Over £100 million has already been invested at Chatham Waters and around 700 full time jobs created, worth £19m to the local economy each year.
