Barratt Homes selected for Canada Water project - property development finance

A £1.5 billion regeneration scheme that will involve considerable amounts of Property Development Finance and other inwards investment is a step close to beginning after British Land and Southwark Council announced that they have chosen Barratt Homes to help develop the initial part of the scheme.

A new town centre focused on the Canada Water area will see around 900 homes built as well as retail areas, Builder and Engineer has reported.

Almost 3,000 homes as well as offices and leisure facilities will eventually be constructed as part of the overall plan to revamp part of the Docklands area.

"We are on track to deliver the first of the detailed applications early next year […] the delivery of this existing mixed use scheme has taken a major step forward," said British Land Canada Quays chairman David Taylor.

"Canada Water has the potential to transform Rotherhithe, and Barratt wants to work with local people to make it happen," added Barratt East London and Thames Gateway managing director Alastair Baird.

In related news, British Land and Southwark Council have launched a scheme aimed at listening to the views of teenage residents with regards to future developments.
