Construction will start next month on the scheme which will feature 145 one, two and three-bedroom homes and ground floor commercial space across the part 13, part 17 storey building designed by architects, BPTW.
Steve Leakey, Managing Director of Higgins Partnerships comments, “We are delighted to once again be working in partnership with Notting Hill Genesis at Saxon Wharf, having successfully delivered a number of award-winning developments together.
“Saxon Wharf will help address local housing need by providing 50% quality affordable homes and will enhance the character of the local area with the creation of a new public plaza and pedestrian routes providing access to the Creek. We look forward to starting work shortly.”
As well as the new public plaza and children’s play spaces, a new tree lined boulevard will lead to the Creek walkways and a private podium for residents to enjoy. The local ecology will also be revived by promoting native plants to increase the wildlife within and along the Creek’s edge.
The new homes will be built in accordance with the London Plan, providing high quality, energy efficient and sustainable homes. A communal heat network powered by a combined heat and power unit will be included along with photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps to minimise the impact of fuel poverty on residents. The building will also feature a sedum roof.
