Latest updates – construction phase
We're pleased to report that the groundwork and building foundations have now been completed. With the solid foundation in place, we've successfully erected a tower crane on-site. This crucial piece of equipment will assist in the efficient movement of materials as we move forward with the next stages of construction.
Upcoming work on site includes:
- Ground floor slab – to be cast: The next step is to pour the ground floor slab, creating a strong and level base for the building. This is a vital part of the structure's framework, allowing the team to begin work on the vertical elements.
- Walls and columns on the ground floor – to be cast: Once the slab is in place, the focus will be on casting the walls and columns on the ground floor. This will define the layout and structure of the building, providing support for the upper levels.
- First floor slab - to be cast: With the ground floor structure in place, the first-floor slab will then be cast. This will begin the process of adding the building's height and advancing toward the final shape of the building.
Saturday working:
To ensure Neilcott stay on schedule, they will be working on-site every Saturday from 8am to 1pm, starting 22 March, for the next 15 weeks. The site team will aim to make the most of these hours to progress with the building's development.
Please note, there may be some additional work during some weekday evenings, especially when concreting the main floor slabs and columns. This work could potentially lead to some overruns, but the site team will endeavour to minimise disruption.

Project overview
The re-development will:
- deliver 31 high quality, energy efficient new homes on this under-used site
- provide affordable housing for local people (50% of the new homes will be affordable)
- provide high-quality landscaping which encourages biodiversity
- be built to high energy efficiency, Passivhaus Classic Standard.
New homes
Hammersmith & Fulham Council are delivering 31 new homes on the site, of which 10 will be let at social rent, 6 will be shared ownership and 15 will be available to buy as leasehold homes. The homes are due to be completed around Spring 2026.
The 10 social rent homes will be prioritised for local people in housing need. Anyone interested in these homes should join the council's housing register. More information on the housing register here.
The 6 shared ownership homes will be prioritised for people who live or work in the borough. We do not yet have information about what the prices will be. You can find out more information about shared ownership in the borough through the council's Home Buy team.
The 15 homes available to buy will be marketed closer to the end of the project.
