HG Construction chief executive Adam Quinn said: “We have been involved in a number of schemes in the Old Kent Road area over the past few years and it is wonderful to see the regeneration progress at pace with major new schemes completing and more on the way. This new high quality mixed-use residential development will significantly boost the housing offering in the area and provide an excellent amenity and retail offering for residents.”

The development is expected to complete in winter 2026.
