What’s happening on site

The Elephant and Castle Town Centre project team is committed to updating and engaging with the local community, from the start of works on site in October 2020 all the way through the construction programme in the coming years.

The development is owned and managed by Get Living, the UK’s leading build-to-rent operator, developer and investor, and sits alongside its existing neighbourhood, Elephant Central. Get Living has over a decade’s experience in creating places where people can connect, explore and belong. Its other neighbourhoods include East Village, the former Athletes’ Village for the 2012 Olympic Games, and New Maker Yards in Salford. To learn more, click here.

Delancey, the appointed development manager for the project, is at the forefront of real estate development making a positive impact on commercial, societal, and environmental aspects through its innovative management of landmark real estate investment funds. To learn more, click here.

Demolition is now complete and the construction company Multiplex has taken possession of the site with construction of the second phase targeted to be complete by 2026. To learn more about progress on site and activities happening in the local community, sign up to our digital mailing list here.

Advanced Notices

 

 

Notice of Early start works

None at present.

Notice of works to elephant road

Please be advised our supply chain partner, will be commencing works to connect the district heating to the new development. The first stage of the works will require hoarding lines to the West (outside of the station) and East (Castle Square) side of Elephant Road to be erected. The hoarding will be formed of ‘heras’ temporary fencing panels.

Throughout the excavation phase of works taking place outside the Elephant and Castle Train Station, a temporary traffic light system will be implemented on Elephant Road to ensure pedestrian safety. The road will remain accessible for vehicles and cyclists, though the road width will be restricted to accommodate the hoarding and works taking place. The road will remain open throughout the process.

 

Relevant signage will be in place to inform the passing public of the works, and diverting pedestrians through Castle Square, ultimately increasing footfall in this area. Discussions are taking place with the Developer to finalise signage and hoarding design. This programme of works will take place between Monday 17th July, commencing with the set up of the hoarding line, through to 2024.

Please note that these works will take place during normal working hours (08:00-18:00 Monday to Friday) and should any additional working hours be granted, we will ensure to update this website page.

Construction Phases

Demolition works are now complete and Multiplex have taken possession of the site with the second phase targeted to be complete by 2026.

The access route through the site is closed from the overground station and pedestrians are to follow the enhanced pavement route along Elephant Road for access between the Rail and northern/Bakerloo Line Underground stations.

The first major construction works began in February 2022 with concrete piling ahead of building. Phase three will commence on the site of the London College of Communication after the College has moved to its new building within phase two.
