New build scheme underway on historic Peabody estate

17 July 2009

Work has begun on a 55-unit mixed residential scheme at Peabody’s historic Pimlico estate, Peabody Avenue.

Designed by award-winning architects Haworth Tompkins, the £10.1 million scheme will revive bomb-damaged or derelict parts of the estate with new housing (38 new homes for rent; 18 for shared ownership) and provide a mixture of different units including a new community hall.

Extensive consultation was carried out with residents throughout the design process. As well as the much-needed community hall, the scheme will provide improved play and garden spaces for older and younger children, offices for the tenants’ association and the installation of a door entry system. Substantial re-landscaping of the whole estate will also take place.
