MAJOR MILESTONE ACHIEVED
WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL APPOINTS BOUYGUES UK TO DELIVER
THE FIRST PHASE OF THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE EBURY BRIDGE
ESTATE DESIGNED BY THE COUNCIL’S ARCHITECTS ASTUDIO
astudio welcomes Westminster City Council’s recent
announcement that construction firm Bouygues UK has
won a contract to design and build the first phase of the
new Ebury Bridge Estate in Pimlico. Bouygues UK will work with
the council and award-winning architectural practice astudio
in bringing these designs to life, with the first phase due for
completion in 2023.
astudio and Westminster City Council’s lead project
consultants Arup have been developing the designs and
planning application on behalf of the council which will be
submitted in the summer. The new masterplan if approved
will provide around 758 high-quality, energy efficient homes,
including 50% affordable homes. If approved this will be the
largest development of new council and affordable homes in
south Westminster in a generation.
Westminster City Council will fund the first phase of the mixed
tenure regeneration, providing homes for returning and new
residents through several tenure opportunities. The scheme
will also deliver a new public realm through connected garden
squares and podium amenity, as well as community space,
retail and nursery facilities, with investment in jobs, community
development and health programmes for local residents.
