Ardmore has secured the job to deliver Phase 1 of South London’s Kidbrooke Square scheme for joint venture developers Transport for London and Notting Hill Genesis.

The contractor will construct 413 homes for private sale, shared ownership and affordable rent, within six new blocks featuring brick-built facades, reaching heights of up to 16 storeys, clustered around landscaped courtyards.

The first phase of the development, which is believed to be worth around £100m, will also incorporate the sitewide energy centre and a new public square as well as an improved transport hub connecting Kidbrooke Station and local bus services.

Designed by Glenn Howells Architects, the scheme will eventually deliver 619 new homes once two other towers in phase 2 are completed.

A complex civil engineering and phasing approach was required to overcome the challenges posed by the sloping brownfield site, including significant slope retention and maintaining a public footbridge over the site.

James Byrne, Ardmore Director, said: “This is a complex project, and we have had to call on all of our skills and experience of delivering major schemes on logistically constrained sites, next to railways and local residents, to develop a practical well-considered approach to delivery.”

Emma Hatch, Senior Property Development Manager at TfL, said: “With enabling works on site close to completion, we’re excited to be starting the first phase of the main construction, working with Notting Hill Genesis and Ardmore, to deliver hundreds of new affordable homes.

“Our scheme will also create new and improved amenities for the community alongside new commercial and retail spaces, supporting the local economy while also generating vital revenue to reinvest into the transport network.”
