In partnership with Greystar, Telford Homes is delivering a significant Build to Rent-led mixed-use development on the former Royal Mail brownfield site in Nine Elms.
The masterplan vision by Allies and Morrison Architects and Camlins Landscape Architects is focused on the long-term management of rental communities, with placemaking at its heart. It seamlessly juxtaposes new homes, public realm and a linear park, above significant subterranean Northern Line Extension and Thames Water Sewer infrastructure.
The scheme comprises 760 BtR and 134 Discount Market Rent homes in two buildings, based on passive design strategies, around landscaped courtyards. Each quad has an open corner to capture daylight and views out towards the park. The homes are tenure blind and pepperpotted, with access to shared internal and multifunctional external amenities to promote an integrated community. The scheme is to provide a net gain in ecological diversity, supporting and enhancing the wider Wandsworth & Nine Elms Local Biodiversity Action Plan.
