Balfour Beatty<\/a> has revealed that it has secured a \u00a3102m construction contract for phase one of the East Wick and Sweetwater development on behalf of East Wick and Sweetwater Projects Phase 1 Ltd<\/h2>\n

The initial phase, which marks the first of seven construction phases, will see the delivery of four mixed-use buildings, including 302 apartments, townhouses and duplex residencies and a number of associated commercial facilities including retail and leisure amenities.<\/p>\n

Balfour Beatty Investments, in joint venture with Places for People,<\/a> will provide equity for the construction works with borrowed funding provided by Homes England.<\/p>\n

Once finished, the newly created East Wick and Sweetwater neighbourhoods will contribute to the transformation of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, providing 1,500 new homes for the community.<\/p>\n

Graham Hill, Balfour Beatty\u2019s managing director for its London Regional construction business, said: \u201cThis contract award builds on Balfour Beatty\u2019s strong relationship with the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the London Legacy Development Corporation, having constructed the London 2012 Aquatics Centre and delivered transformative engineering works to the London Olympic Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to providing East London with a lasting legacy by creating a range of employment opportunities for local people and businesses through the development of this new and exciting neighbourhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project will target BREEAM \u2018Excellent\u2019 status<\/a>, an environmental assessment method which monitors the sustainability performance of commercial buildings, and produce 302 Zero Carbon Homes. As outlined in the Queen Elizabeth Park\u2019s Biodiversity Action Plan to form open spaces for recreation, the scheme is committed to biodiversity enhancements. Equally, 20% of the main building materials are to be made from re-used and recycled sources.<\/p>\n

Ground preparation works commenced in early 2019 and completion is expected in spring 2021.<\/p>\n
