Lewisham Gateway is the single largest development within Lewisham town centre and one of the largest regeneration projects in south east London.
The £375 million investment included reconfiguring the road system, delivering around 900 new homes and creating new retail, restaurant and commercial space as well as much improved bus, taxi and cycling facilities.
Before the development got underway, Lewisham Town Centre had been dominated by a large roundabout which separated the town centre from the DLR and railway stations. However, the roundabout was removed and replaced with a new road system and a park, Confluence Place, sloping down to the rivers Quaggy and Ravensbourne.
Construction of the first phase, which includes 193 apartments in two blocks of 25 and 15 storeys with ground floor retail space, is nearing completion.
Phase two, featuring two landmark buildings of 15 and 22 storeys comprising 169 new homes with ground-floor retail and restaurants, is under way.
The housing development will offer innovative, professional co-living Space and 106 homes at London Living Rent.
Lewisham Gateway is already providing a new heart for Lewisham town centre as progress on the site continues.
