Bouygues UK is anticipated to begin constructing Phase 2b of the regeneration in June 2022, with the phase expected to take around two years to complete. Once complete, the Portobello Square regeneration project will deliver around 1,000 new homes, with no loss of social housing, new commercial and community spaces and 2.3 acres of new public park. This phase of the regeneration will deliver 230 new homes, including 108 homes for social rent alongside 11 homes for shared ownership. All existing Catalyst residents on the estate will have the option of being re-housed in the new development if they wish. The new neighbourhood will be completely tenure-blind – meaning there will no discernible difference between the private-sale and affordable homes from the outside. The regeneration will also deliver a host of new community facilities and dramatically improved public realm and green space. As well as providing regeneration, the project will offer employment, training and social value opportunities which will enhance the lives of local people long after the construction works have completed. There will include new apprenticeship positions, support for job seekers, new community and youth initiatives as well as more investment in the local area. Rob Bradley, CEO at Bouygues UK said: “We are delighted to be appointed to deliver the next phase of Portobello Square. Our experience on projects like this across London, and with ensuring minimal disruption for the local community, will ensure the successful delivery of this phase. Having previously worked with Catalyst on flagship projects such as Havelock Estate in Ealing, we look forward to working alongside the team again to support its ambition to reinvigorate this iconic part of London.” Richard Smith, Managing Director New Homes London at Catalyst said: “Despite the excellent quality of the submissions we had from construction contractors, it was clear the Bouygues UK were the best team to take forward the construction of the next phase of Portobello Square. This marks a significant milestone in developing a significant number of new homes for families in North Kensington.” Latest news Bouygues UK Signs Contract to Build Carbon Zero Office Development at Swansea’s Kingsway FIND OUT MORE Working at Bouygues UK: Q&A with Rachael Harrison FIND OUT MORE Moulsecoomb East Reaches Practical Completion FIND OUT MORE GO BACK TO ALL NEWS BECKET HOUSE, 1 LAMBETH PALACE ROAD, LONDON, SE1 7EU | +442074010020 (opens in a new tab) (opens in a new tab) CONTACT US WHO WE ARE BOUYGUES UK MEET THE TEAM WHAT WE DO OUR SECTORS CASE STUDIES HOW WE WORK INNOVATION RESPONSIBLE AND COMMITTED CAREERS JOB LISTINGS LIFE AT BOUYGUES UK EARLY CAREERS JOB APPLICANT PRIVACY NOTICE LEGAL PRIVACY NOTICE MODERN SLAVERY ACT OUR APPROACH TO TAX DIVERSITY & INCLUSION REPORT Sitemap Legal mentions Privacy notice Modern Slavery Act Our Approach to Tax Job Applicant Privacy Notice Cookie Statement Bouygues (U.K.) Limited is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 03460378.
