The Wates deal brings to £1.7bn the total value of the work let by Quintain on the 85-acre regeneration at Wembley Park to its five contractors.

The contract for twin plots E01 and E02 is also the largest ever awarded to Wates on a single site.  

The E01/E02 development, off Olympic Way, will provide 633 residential homes across private rented, affordable rented, intermediate for sale, intermediate rented tenures.

Of these, 347 will be rental properties managed by Quintain’s Tipi business. Quintain has agreed supply contracts with Samsung, Kohler and John Lewis to supply appliances, brassware and furniture to meet interior designs by Fossey Arora.

Whilst this will be Wates’ largest project at Wembley Park, the contractor is nearing completion on plots NW07 and NW08 (Landsby), which will open to the public later this year, with 361 new homes. Most of these will also be operated by Tipi, with the remainder managed by Network Homes.
