Enabling works are underway at British Land’s 53 acre, mixed-use scheme in Southwark, which will deliver up to 3,000 homes.
The Homes England funding will enable British Land to accelerate residential elements of its scheme by around three years.
Also British Land confirmed today that first phase building contracts will be placed with firms over the next few months.
Kier, Laing O’Rourke, Mace and Wates are understood to have been among the firms in talks with British Land to deliver the first three buildings on the 5m sq ft scheme.
