Following its selection as preferred developer in July 2011, Galliford Try’s Partnerships business has finalised a £23m deal on the Gallions Quarter development in East London. Galliford Try will build 170 homes in the second phase of the 700-home development, which also includes commercial and retail premises as part of a regeneration programme of the area commissioned by the London Development Agency.
Secondly, The Mayor of London has granted approval for the £52m redevelopment of the old St Clement's hospital site in Mile End, East London. The contract provides for a minimum of 223 homes, including provision of 21 homes to be granted to London's first Community Land Trust, as well as a further 54 affordable homes. The remaining 148 homes will be sold under the Linden Homes brand.
Festival Housing Association has named Galliford Try Partnerships as preferred bidder to build a 101-apartment retirement village in Malvern, Worcestershire in a contract worth £11.8m.
Galliford Try Partnerships has also been named preferred bidder for a £12m contract to build 165 homes for Northumberland County Council across two sites at Blyth and South Newsham.
Finally, the Homes & Communities Agency has picked Galliford Try for the regeneration of Blackberry Hill Hospital in Bristol.

We will continue to work with our partners in government and the housing industry to provide much-needed affordable housing wherever we can."
