London Land Group Celebrate Milestone Achievement in Construction of The Waterfront Residential Development

London Land Group, developers of The Water­front resid­en­tial devel­op­ment celeb­rated reaching a key milestone in its construc­tion journey as the first pre-cast panel was expertly lowered onto the site. This signi­fic­ant event repres­ents the next phase in the devel­op­ment’s progress, as the project gains momentum at speed due to its use of modern methods of construc­tion which assist the Group in achieving industry leading standards in quality, speed, safety and efficiency.

The transfer deck for the two water facing houses, Distel and Estar, was completed on October 20, with construc­tion partner, Creagh, now on-site with London Land Group installing the pre-cast concrete façade panels. With this achieve­ment, the construc­tion of the blocks will accel­er­ate, aiming to complete one floor every 1-2 weeks.

London Land Group are committed to deliv­er­ing The Water­front using Modern Methods of Construc­tion which leverages techno­logy and stream­lined processes to produce building modules off-site, which are then assembled on-site, contrib­ut­ing to signi­fic­ant reduc­tions in carbon emissions and waste whilst also deliv­er­ing efficiency improve­ments.

Mario Luca Balducci, CEO of London Land Group said, “We are thrilled to be marking this milestone and celeb­rat­ing the spirit of collab­or­a­tion that has brought us to this point. Our partners including Benchmark Archi­tects, BTP, Creagh, Engen­eeria, Woodmace, Rentec and Reynaers alongside our project team have been instru­mental in trans­form­ing our vision for The Water­front into reality and we are now much closer to offering our residents a vibrant, water­front lifestyle that embraces quality, conveni­ence and innov­a­tion.”

Work started on the 291 apartment devel­op­ment in September 2022 and the devel­op­ment is on track to welcome residents from Q3 2024.
