By GlobalDataArdmore Director James Byrne said: “This is a complex project, and we have had to call on all of our skills and experience of delivering major schemes on logistically constrained sites, next to railways and local residents, to develop a practical well-considered approach to delivery.”
Works at the project site commenced last year, however, they were stopped at the end of March with the primary lockdown announced in the country.
Demolition contractor John F Hunt resumed works on the Kidbrooke Square in June last year to prepare the site ready for development.
Transport for London manager Emma Hatch was quoted saying: “With enabling works on site close to completion, we’re excited to be starting the first phase of the main construction, working with Notting Hill Genesis and Ardmore, to deliver hundreds of new affordable homes.
“Our scheme will also create new and improved amenities for the community alongside new commercial and retail spaces, supporting the local economy while also generating vital revenue to reinvest into the transport network.”
