Ballymore

Ambitious homebuilding targets have been set for London and the UK. In order to deliver 1.5m homes over the next five years, the private and public sector must work in close partnership to plan, design and build at pace and at scale.    At Royal Wharf in the Royal Docks, in just six years Ballymore has delivered a new town with some 4,500 homes, a new high street, healthcare facilities, parks, a primary school and nursery, community centre and workspace, as well as a new pier for Thames Clippers.    Our web article takes a closer look at Royal Wharf, now an established community, and what lessons can be learnt from this extraordinary development project: https://lnkd.in/eM8pnPgv
