The firm will build six medium-rise blocks made up of 134 flats for Guinness Developments.
The Stead Street site, located to the south of the Heygate Estate, currently comprises two council-owned and managed car parks plus the English Martyrs Church Hall.
The scheme will provide a new community church hall arranged around landscaped courtyards. The hall, which has an existing but tired building on the site, will be demolished and re-provided with a new, purpose built multi-function space with improved facilities for community events.
Construction is due to start by autumn 2013.
