Isis Waterside Regeneration’s Brentford Lock West regeneration scheme will ultimately see 520 new homes built to create a new community in the centre of Brentford.
Willmott Dixon has been awarded a £30m contract to build 150 apartments and townhouses, all for private sale beside the Grand Union Canal. The scope also includes commercial units in three retained art deco buildings.
“The development will create a sustainable and thriving waterside community that responds directly to what the local community have said they want and need,” Willmott Dixon Housing managing director Tim Carpenter.
“Willmott Dixon and ISIS Waterside Regeneration have a shared vision of sustainable development, and at Brentford, the scheme will benefit from a range of measures to use sustainable energy, including district heating, green roofs, roof top allotments and PV panels. In addition, improvements will be made to the moorings available to maximise the benefits of waterside living,” he said.
The first homes are due to be completed in winter 2013, with a marketing hub established on the site in spring 2013. The entire phase one will be handed over in autumn 2014.
Isis Waterside Regeneration is a joint venture between the Canals & River Trust (formerly British Waterways) and Muse Developments. Brentford Lock West will be its third major development, following projects in Manchester and Leeds.
