South of the Thames and just to the north-east of Surrey Water, Rotherhithe Reach is positioned within predominantly established residential areas but its design seeks to form an enhancement to the site. This development will offer better access to the stunning Surrey Water and Deal Porters Walk, encouraging more outdoor activity and community participation. Located in such a central place, residents can easily access the rest of London.

A variety of housing forms are intended as part of the development to promote a community feel. The project will add 63 new affordable flats to local housing stock, balanced against 88 private units, and thus inspiring diversity and inclusivity.

Rotherhithe Reach will provide its residents with 0.46 hectares of public open space to enjoy for recreation or relaxation. The development will have tree-lined streets, promoting a friendly urban setting that allows for public interaction and exercise.

This contemporary development will be built on the former gasworks site, which has remained empty since 1959. They will provide modern living spaces, while ensuring that the sensibility of the new development is contextually appropriate and adds to neighbourhood form.

Rotherhithe Reach will contribute some of the highest levels of affordable housing provision locally; delivering an impressive 42% affordable housing provision. 29% social rent and 13% shared ownership – are earmarked as affordable, meeting different housing needs to maintain an inclusive community.
