Fairview new homes appoints qs for move into urban development

Barrie Tankel Partnership has been appointed as quantity surveyor by Fairview New Homes for the construction of a 123 unit new apartment block in Butlers Wharf, London SE1 - a project which demonstrates this residential developers increasing diversification into more complex but highly promising urban schemes. Fairview New Homes are set to capitalise on the increased potential and appeal of Butlers Wharf soon to be generated by the Jubilee line extension and burgeoning South Bank attractions.

The project has involved the demolition of Vanilla and Sesame Wharf, two existing dilapidated warehouse buildings on the site, to make way for the construction of a new 7-storey development. Designed by architects BUJ, the building will have a total gross internal floor area of 127,000 sq. ft plus basement car parking.

A contractor is shortly to be appointed for this work and the construction of the basement and superstructure work is due to start on site in August to enable the basement to complete by spring 1999 for use by the adjacent Spice Quay. The contract value for the basement, shell and core is in the region of 6.5m.

While this project is Barrie Tankel Partnerships first project with Fairview New Homes, the practice is well known for its strength in residential development in Central London. Other current residential projects include the 27m refurbishment of Point West, a 16.5m luxury new build residential development in Regents Park for Arab Investments Limited and Phase 2 of Carlton Gate in North London.
