Legal & General has broken ground at Blackhorse Mills, its North East London Build to Rent (BTR) scheme which will bring around 440 new homes to Walthamstow.

Galliford Try Partnerships is the contractor for the £120m contract to develop the site into 440 new Studio, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom homes located just 200m from Blackhorse Road tube station.

The scheme will benefit from a wellness centre, private dining rooms, flexible working space, roof terracing and a resident club room overlooking the impressive wetlands. The scheme will also include 20,000 sq ft of commercial space.

Cllr Clare Coghill, Leader of Waltham Forest Council, said: "Working with responsible, socially conscious organisations like Legal & General and Galliford Try Partnerships helps us to achieve our aims. It has been a pleasure working with them, and we know that the high-quality Ferry Lane development will bring real benefits to the residents of Waltham Forest.”

The scheme is expected to welcome its first residents between late 2019 and early 2020.
