Jacobs Island Co and Olympia & York have been chosen by the London Docklands Development Corporation to carry out a £390m development in south-east London.
A development brief for the 20-acre site at Surrey Quays, Rotherhithe, SE16, was launched last April specifying a 1.5m-sq ft mixed scheme.
The proposed scheme will include a mix of offices, shopping, residential, leisure and recreation space.
In addition, there will be a new interchange to serve the existing east London line and a proposed new rail link from Waterloo and London Bridge to the Isle of Dogs and the Greenwich peninsula.
The master plan for the site will be refined over the next few months in discussions with the developers and the LDDC.
Jacobs Island originally tendered for the site on their own and in competition with six other groups. When shortlisted with Countryside Properties/Mowlem, Jacobs Island approached O&Y with a joint venture.
Last November O&Y agreed with Regalian Properties to build a £600m mainly residential scheme next to O&Y’s massive Canary Wharf project.
Swedish developers NCC Property have signed a development agreement with the LDDC for a 5.9-acre site on the south-west side of the East India Dock area on the Isle of Dogs.
The 600,000-sq ft scheme will consist primarily of offices with associated leisure and retail facilities and parking. Initial buildings are due to be completed in 1991. Connell Wilson advise NCC.
