Wates built 200 new flats in its £62m first phase and in April this year
Willmott Dixon’s team is currently constructing the £22m C1 block, with 52 flats, as well as infrastructure.
As part of this latest phase, Willmott Dixon has also been awarded a £3m demolition contract to remove the current infrastructure and prepare the ground for building work on Block J to start in early 2022.
