London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) in the UK has commissioned Avison Young to advise on the selection of a development partner for the GBP 600 million (US$ 778.68 million) Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park PPP housing project. The project will deliver two new neighborhoods in the south of the Park at Stratford Waterfront, next to the East Bank culture and education powerhouse, and at Bridgewater Triangle, close to UCL’s new campus at UCL East.

The selected developer will share LLDC’s vision and values to deliver the most successful legacy of any modern Olympic Games. Alongside world-class sporting venues, international cultural bodies, and universities, the new neighborhoods will meet the high design standards already in place at Chobham Manor, East Wick, and Sweetwater.

The Stratford Waterfront residential development, which benefits from outline planning consent, will comprise up to 600 homes, including private amenity spaces and ancillary uses; up to 2,200 sqm of retail and food and drink uses; new public realm and landscaping and other supporting infrastructure works. It will complete the existing masterplan for the area and will become one of Europe’s most extraordinary neighbourhood locations.

Further details of the scheme and timetable will be made available at an online launch event on October 14, 2020. Interested bidders or companies can register at www.buildthelegacy.co.uk.
