GB is on site for Hong Kong developer Knight Dragon building a nine-storey block of 161 flats. It is part of Knight Dragon’s wider Greenwich Peninsula scheme, where the master plan includes 10,000 new homes near the Millennium Dome, as well as shops, offices and schools. GB’s apartment block is due for completion in early 2015.
In north London, GB Building Solutions has been awarded a multi-million pound contract at Millbrook Park by Countryside Annington (Mill Hill) Ltd, a joint venture between developer Countryside Properties and Annington Developments. The Millbrook Park development in Mill Hill has planning permission for 2,174 new homes, ancillary retail, light industrial and office space, an energy centre and a new two-form primary school and health centre as well as almost six hectares of parks and open space.
GB’s contract comprises 133 units including 31 one-bedroom and 61 two-bedroom apartments as well as 14 three-bedroom and 27 four-bedroom houses including access roads, car parks and landscaping. Twelve of the units will be affordable properties available through Notting Hill Housing Trust. This work is due for completion in July 2015.
GB Group executive chairman Martin Smout said: "We are delighted to be able to bring our experience and knowledge of cutting edge environmental techniques to these major projects in the capital, where the challenges facing urban regeneration are particularly acute.
"This experience will be used to construct the homes at both the Greenwich Peninsula scheme and Millbrook Park to the very highest standards."
All 294 of the homes at both developments are designed to achieve Level Four of the Code for Sustainable Homes.
