The Partnerships business has finalised a contract on the Gallions Quarter development in East London, following its selection as preferred developer in July 2011.

Under the £23m contract, Galliford Try will construct 170 homes in the second phase of the 700-home development, which also includes commercial and retail premises as part of a major regeneration programme of the area commissioned by the London Development Agency.

Also in London, the mayor has approved the £52m redevelopment of the old St Clement’s hospital site in Mile End, East London.

This will see the firm build 223 homes, including 21 homes to be granted to London’s first Community Land Trust, as well as a further 54 affordable homes. The remaining 148 homes will be sold via the Linden Homes brand.

Under two further awards for the Partnerships arm, it will build  a 101-apartment retirement village for Festival Housing Association in Malvern, Worcestershire and deliver a £12m contract to build 165 homes for Northumberland County Council across two sites at Blyth and South Newsham.

The Homes and Communities Agency has also confirmed Galliford Try as the successful bidder for the regeneration of Blackberry Hill Hospital in Bristol.

Galliford Try Chief Executive Greg Fitzgerald said: “Galliford Try’s strong record in regeneration projects has been instrumental in securing us these significant contracts.

“We will continue to work with our partners in government and the housing industry to provide much-needed affordable housing wherever we can.”
