Housing association giant Sovereign Network Group (SNG) has announced that Countryside Partnerships, part of Vistry Group will be its main contractor to build 575 new homes for its Merrick Place housing development opposite Southall Rail Station.
The development, on a former industrial site, is designed by architect Cartwright Pickard and will consist of four buildings between 15 and 23-storeys and include office and commercial space.
The apartments will be a mix of affordable homes for rent, shared ownership and private rent. There will be no parking on-site for residents and the development, which includes communal garden and play areas, will offer 926 spaces for bicycle parking.
No details have been announced on specifications and bedroom sizes for the homes.
John Fitzgerald, managing director, Vistry South London, said: “Merrick Place will play a key part in the wider regeneration of Ealing and we are very pleased to have been appointed by our established partner SNG for its delivery. Creating 575 new mixed-tenure homes, as well as outdoor communal spaces and new office and commercial space, will help build a thriving community for the residents of Southall and contribute to the long-term transformation of the area.”
David Gooch, executive director of development for London and Herts at SNG said: “The Merrick Place project in Southall is a flagship scheme within SNG’s London New Homes Programme. We are delighted to have contracted with Countryside Partnerships who are also our joint venture partner at Northwick Park Hospital in Brent. Together these two projects will deliver over 1,100 high quality new homes in North West London.”
