Elmgrove House

Client: ASRA Greater London Housing Association
Value: £16 million
Location: Plumstead, South East London

This project involves the construction of a 119 apartment development for affordable rent and shared ownership.

Homes will include four-bedroom duplexes, as well as one, two and three-bedroom apartments available for rent and low cost home ownership.

Each home will have its own private amenity area, consisting of individual balconies for the apartments or private gardens for the duplex homes. There will also be a communal courtyard with a secure children’s play area.

The development has been commended for its provision of Lifetime Homes, going beyond standards set by the government for adaptable homes. For example, 10 per cent of homes will be accessible for wheelchair users.

A bio-mass boiler, which runs on wood pellets, will provide renewable energy for the whole building. This will reduce carbon emissions from the homes, and keep running costs low for residents.

Elmgrove Tower has also been awarded Demonstration Project status by Construction Excellence.
