Kingsland Wharves, East London
Project information
Durkan has been awarded the £28.5 million construction contract by L&Q Housing Group to provide a 207 unit development in East London. The project is situated on the Kingsland Basin section near Regent’s Canal in Hackney. The redevelopment of the Kingsland Basin site, which began in Spring 2010, involves the demolition of existing buildings and the design and build of 4 block ranging up to 8 storeys.
The impressive new scheme will provide dwellings for rent, shared ownership and private sale and will achieve Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4.
Additional commercial space will be formed through the restoration, conversion and alterations to the existing Grade II listed buildings around the site.
The project will include underground car parking and space for 233 bicycles. Durkan will also undertake the associated landscaping, paving and redevelopment of the canal-side frontage which will include a footbridge and children’s play area.
To ensure disruption is kept to a minimum, Durkan are closely liaising with canal boat occupiers who will remain residents on the basin throughout the duration of the project.
