The 26-month MEP contract consists of the design and construction of 649 residential units ranging in height from 11 to 30-storeys.
The dwellings will facilitate 530 residential apartments with the remaining 119 being utilised for Co-Living.
The Lewisham Gateway Phase 2 scheme also incorporates retail units, a space for a cinema, the construction and fit-out of a co-living facility, a co-working building with a category A fit-out, gym space and a below-ground energy centre.
