Central London’s Ebury Bridge estate is set for a major transformation.
- McLaren has been appointed by Westminster Council to lead phase two of the Ebury Bridge regeneration.
- This phase involves constructing 334 homes, with a significant portion designated as affordable housing.
- Bouygues UK is currently working on phase one, with first residents expected by autumn next year.
- The project aims to replace a 1930s estate with modern homes while adhering to new building regulations.
The regeneration of the Ebury Bridge estate represents a significant development in central London, spearheading efforts to modernise urban housing. Westminster Council has brought McLaren on board to lead the second phase of this ambitious project, marking a substantial progression in the city’s urban renewal strategy.
This second phase of the project boasts a budget of £302 million and involves the creation of 334 new homes. Notably, 250 of these residences are earmarked as affordable housing, underscoring the council’s commitment to providing accessible living solutions to its residents.
The involvement of McLaren comes under a preconstruction services agreement (PCSA), initially valued at £4.8 million, with the potential to rise to £7.3 million. During their 12-month incumbency as the main contractor, Westminster Council will review whether to further extend their contract based on performance and project requirements.
Currently, Bouygues UK is actively constructing the £113 million first phase of the Ebury Bridge project. With an anticipated completion date set for the next autumn, this phase will welcome its first residents, setting a precedent for the ongoing developments.
In line with evolving safety standards, Westminster Council announced minor modifications to the plans for phases two and three. These adjustments include the incorporation of second staircases, aligning with new building regulations and enhancing the project’s compliance with updated safety protocols.
The Ebury Bridge regeneration project is a testament to strategic urban development and modern housing solutions in London.
