79 new affordable homes completed in Canada Water

13 December 2023

Southwark Council, British Land and building contractors McAleer & Rushe celebrated the completion of 60 new council homes and 19 shared ownership homes at an official opening event on Thursday 30 November 2023.

The new development will provide much-needed affordable family homes for the local community. Most of the homes have two or three bedrooms, and are well-located close to the Russia Dock woodlands and Alfred Salter primary school.

The new development is the first to be completed in the Canada Water Masterplan which will see thousands of new homes built in the area over the next twelve years. There will be hundreds of new social rent homes alongside a new town centre, sports facilities and office and retail spaces.

Cllr Helen Dennis, Southwark’s Cabinet Member for New Homes and Sustainable Development, said: “I’m thrilled to celebrate the opening of the first new homes of the Canada Water Masterplan, and proud that 60 of these homes will be council homes, helping to tackle the huge demand for truly affordable housing in our borough.

“The K1 plot is a wonderful place for to live, surrounded by green spaces and with access to a whole wealth of local amenities and transport links to stay connected to the rest of the city. I look forward to seeing our residents build their lives here and to see the local area grow and develop as the Canada Water Masterplan continues to progress.”

Emma Cariaga, British Land Director, said: "At British Land, we are committed to creating vibrant environments for people to live, work and enjoy, and so we are immensely proud to have reached this significant milestone in Canada Water, delivering new homes for Southwark residents.

“The completion event marks a moment of celebration, but it's also the beginning of a new chapter in this remarkable neighbourhood. We look forward to seeing these homes filled with life and creating lasting memories for the families who will call them home."
