Consultant will act as development manager and employer鈥檚 agent on 527-home south London scheme
Gleeds has been appointed to Peabody鈥檚 拢120m St John鈥檚 Hill housing-led regeneration scheme in Clapham Junction, south London.
The consultant 鈥� which acted as cost manager on the project before it won planning permission in July 鈥� has had its role extended to encompass development management, and the firm will also act as employer鈥檚 agent.
The scheme will provide 527 homes in a mix of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom flats - 278 will be allocated for social rent and intermediate housing and 249 will be for private space.
Sources close to the project confirmed they hoped to issue tenders for contractors in the first half of 2013.
The Hawkins Brown-designed scheme will include a community 鈥渉ub鈥� covering 592m2 that will include a cafe, club room, cr猫che and learning and function rooms.
Provision will also be made for 415m2 of commercial units located opposite Clapham Junction railway station and 15,900m2 of 鈥渕ulti-functional鈥� open spaces.
Richard Steer, chairman of Gleeds, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to have been appointed to this innovative project for Peabody.
鈥淭he development will have a wide-reaching, positive impact on the estate itself as well as the wider community and is an important step in improving the area鈥檚 social housing provision.鈥�
The scheme is the second major regeneration job for Gleeds in south London, after the 拢90m mixed-use Streatham Hub scheme by Tesco鈥檚 property arm Spenhill.
Contractor Vinci has begun work on Streatham Hub - which includes 250 homes, a leisure centre and a Tesco supermarket - where Gleeds is acting as cost manager.
