Description
Willmott Dixon has secured its latest residential project for Westminster City Council, a £29 million scheme to build 65 new affordable homes on Tavistock Road as part of the council’s Fairer Westminster strategy.
Known as Westmead, the six-storey building will seek to achieve the AECB CarbonLite™ New Build standard which is a benchmark for improved comfort, health, energy and carbon performance. This will be done through a mix of PV panels, exhaust air heat pumps and stringent air tightness measures ensuring that the homes provide optimum energy efficiency for future residents. It will also include improved green space for the wider community and 121 new cycle spaces.
The project is expected to commence in March 2025 and achieve completion by the end of the year.
