Catalyst to deliver 186 affordable homes at Southall Waterside

Housing association Catalyst is to provide a triple digit affordable housing quota to Berkeley Group’s massive 3,750-home development in west London.

The housing association has partnered with the developer to deliver 186 affordable units at its Southall Waterside development, including 120 affordable rent homes along with 66 that will be available for shared ownership.

Berkeley’s scheme is currently one of the largest and most ambitious developments currently planned in London, with 500,000 sq ft of commercial space, a new cinema, two form primary school, health centre and landscaping works to accompany 3,750 new homes.

Built on the 88-acre former National Grid gasworks site, the project is expected to take 20 years to complete, with the first phase of 610 new homes along with roads and infrastructure work expected to be complete by late 2018.

Tom Titherington, Executive Director of Property & Growth, commented: “I am delighted that Catalyst has been selected by Berkeley Group for such an important part of Southall’s ongoing regeneration.

“Once complete, Southall Waterside will be a thriving and diverse neighbourhood that will add a new chapter to Catalyst’s long and successful history in Southall.”

Karl Whiteman, Berkeley’s Divisional Managing Director, added: “Southall Waterside is an important and exciting development for Southall and west London and I am very happy that Catalyst will be delivering the affordable homes as part of our first phase.”
