Birmingham's J S Wright secures £5m contract for new London property development

J S Wright has secured a £5m contract for the biggest phase of a £64m estate regeneration in London.

The mechanical and electrical building services provider will design and construct the mechanical services for over 200 energy efficient apartments within the latest fourth phase of New Union Wharf at Stewart Street on the Isle of Dogs.

J S Wright was awarded the contract by developer Hill following its completion of the 114-home second and third phases of the new 399-home riverside development that will be managed by housing association L&Q.

Phil Leech, the new managing director of J S Wright, said: “We are thrilled to have built up such an excellent partnership with a developer that is renowned for restoring vibrant communities with modern energy efficient housing.”

The design and build deal will involve installing a low-pressure hot water heating system and associated pipework to feed underfloor heating within each apartment.

J S Wright will start work on site in August 2019 with completion scheduled for December 2021.

J S Wright has equipped more than 1,500 new homes across London for Hill over the past three years.

Current design and build projects for the developer include the first two phases of 580-home Fish Island Village in Hackney Wick, and Phase 1B of the 1,500-home Blackwall Reach development in Tower Hamlets.

The company recently launched a new residential maintenance company, Wright Maintenance Ltd, serving homeowners and property managers across London.
