Mount Anvil and The Riverside Group have entered into a joint venture to regenerate the Tiller Road Estate on the Isle of Dogs.
The scheme expands Mount Anvil’s partnership with housing association The Riverside Group, which previously appointed the developer to deliver 218 new homes as part of the regeneration of the nearby Bellamy Close and Byng Street Estate.
The regeneration of the Tiller Road Estate will deliver more than 300 new affordable and private homes in addition to 72 homes for current residents to replace those in three existing buildings – Kedge House, Starboard Way and Winch House.
Darragh Hurley, chief executive officer of Mount Anvil, said: “We’re delighted to be working with our repeat partner Riverside on Tiller Road. We have a shared commitment to working with local communities to provide high quality new homes and places, and we have a track record of working in partnership to overcome the inevitable bumps in the road that come with working on complex central London estates.”
Jehan Weerasinghe, managing director of One Housing, part of The Riverside Group, added: “We are delighted to be extending our partnership with Mount Anvil as we continue our regeneration work on the Island. It is great to have a partner that supports the volume of resident involvement we have been and are undertaking.
“The active engagement by the local regeneration team has led to a ballot where 88% voted in favour of regeneration, with a turnout of 94%. Throughout our relationship as partners to date, we’ve benefitted from a true delivery partner that cares deeply about the long-term future of London and its people, and is helping us to deliver on our values and vision for our residents.”
Leanne Ward, chair of the Kedge House, Starboard Way and Winch House Residents Steering Group, said: “The residents are excited to start working alongside Mount Anvil to design their future homes. This is a massive step for us, and we look forward to working together as a community.”
