Challenge

The Leamouth Peninsula in East London, once a neglected industrial area, was earmarked for transformation into a dynamic mixed-use community. The vision encompassed creating a new neighbourhood that seamlessly integrated residential spaces, cultural institutions, and commercial amenities. The challenge lay in executing this ambitious plan on a constrained island site, necessitating meticulous planning to address logistical complexities, infrastructure development, and the integration of diverse building typologies.

Solution

G&T provided Cost Management and Life Cycle Costing services for the London City Island development . Collaborating closely with the client, Ballymore/Ecoworld, and the design team, we ensured that the project's financial objectives were met without compromising on quality or design intent. Our expertise facilitated informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle, optimising value and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the development.

Outcome

The successful completion of London City Island has resulted in a vibrant riverside neighbourhood comprising over 1,700 homes, cultural venues including the English National Ballet, and a range of retail and leisure facilities. The development has revitalised the area, establishing a cohesive community that celebrates architectural diversity and cultural engagement. G&T's strategic cost consultancy played a pivotal role in realising this vision, ensuring the project was delivered on time and within budget, and setting a benchmark for future urban regeneration initiatives.
