The Westfield House site in Earlsfield is being developed by Opal Land, the joint venture formed in 2011 by Galliford Try's housebuilding arm Linden Homes and the Thames Valley Housing Association. The Earlsfield project is the JV’s third development.

The scheme will produce 193 homes across three different blocks, 45 of which will be affordable. There will also be a new café and riverside walks and cycleways, with the development close to both King George's Park and the River Wandle.

Until recently the 2.4-acre site was used as a government file storage depot.

Galliford Try chief executive Greg Fitzgerald said: "We are delighted that our building business has been appointed for the contract from the Opal joint venture for this significant development in southwest London. As a group, we are constantly looking for innovative ways to bring housing schemes to fruition, and for our businesses to work collaboratively. We will continue to look to build on the early success that the Opal joint venture is enjoying."
