Waterside Places is moving forward with the final phase of Hale Wharf, N17, which will see the delivery of 191 affordable homes.
The scheme is part of the mayor of London’s Housing Zones programme. The first phase of development saw 249 homes delivered, with 108 for rent through Grainger, and the remaining 141 – known as Navigation Point – for sale on the open market.
Under the second phase, contractor McLaren Construction is set to build six blocks of council homes. It is anticipated that the final phase will take about two years to complete.
John Butten, managing director at McLaren Major Projects, said: “The first block posed many unique construction challenges working by the canal and installing full-face brickwork on two high-rise buildings. In phase two, we now have a different set of challenges to build eight low to medium-rise blocks on a constrained site next to the newly occupied towers, something we have been planning for over the past few months and are now ready to go on site.”
Michael Orr, development director at Waterside Places, said: “Together with partners and our tenacious teams, we are working hard to repurpose this key area of the borough to leave a positive, long-lasting legacy, drive investment and opportunities, provide tenure choice for residents, as we breathe new life into this area of Tottenham Hale together.”
Waterside Places is a joint venture between Canal & River Trust and Muse Developments, in partnership with the mayor of London and London Borough of Haringey.
