Kier is set to deliver a £170 million first phase of The Ram Quarter, its major flagship regeneration scheme in Wandsworth, London.

The Ram Quarter will be delivered in three phases, with a total value of around £600 million that will create new construction jobs and boost the building trades.

Working with project managers Gardiner & Theobald, architects EPR and engineers WSP Group, Kier will deliver 411,000sq ft of new build housing and retail space, laid out across nine blocks of between four and ten storeys.

To provide the necessary infrastructure, 105,000sq ft of basement space will be constructed for car parking, as well as an energy centre to service the entire development’s electricity needs.

Phase one will also see the development realign 230m of flood defences along the River Wandle in order to open up the space and provide public access along a new riverside walk.

Kier managing director for major projects, Colin Lamb, said: “We are very pleased to be working with The Greenland Group on the £170m first phase of The Ram Quarter project. It is a landmark development that will deliver substantial economic and social benefit for the community of Wandsworth and the wider region, as it regenerates this historical site.”

In addition, the first phase of the project also includes the 56,000sq ft refurbishment and remodelling of the Grade II listed brewery complex, transforming it into high quality restaurants, boutique shops, cafés and bars, a micro-brewery, a brewery museum and an additional 14 residential units – taking the total number of homes delivered in phase one to 338.
