Together with our development partners, the Network Housing Group, we are delighted to announce that the £21 million regeneration of a brownfield site in Homerton has been given the go ahead.
The new development will create 97 new homes in the community and will include many innovative features such as a 6 storey high living green wall and over 20% renewable energy generation on site.
We will be working closely with Mitali Housing Association and London Strategic Housing, both members of Network Housing Group, as well as Hunters, the Employers Agent, to provide homes of the highest standard taking into account the needs of the diverse local community.
Work on site will commence in September 2009 and will be completed in the summer of 2011, ready in plenty of time for the Olympics!
We would like to thank all involved who have worked tirelessly over the past 12 months to bring this fantastic project to fruition.
What can we tell you about Hackney that you don’t already know? Well try this for a starter: Lewis Berger, the pioneer paint manufacturer, moved his factory to Homerton in 1780. Later, Xylonite, an early plastic, was invented in Hackney, whilst the firm that claims to have coined the term ‘petrol’ – Carless, Capel & Leonard – was based in Hackney Wick.
