A ground breaking ceremony has been held at the Tustin Estate in Southwark

Southwark Council, developer Linkcity and lead contractor Bouygues UK welcomed London’s Deputy Mayor for Housing and Residential Development, Tom Copley, to the Tustin Estate construction site to officially mark the start of the build with a ground breaking event. 

The scheme will provide nearly 700 new homes. It includes 250 replacement council homes and shared equity properties; 220 additional council homes including keyworker homes; and 220 homes for private sale.

Linkcity, the development arm of Bouygues UK, was confirmed as the development partner for the entire scheme in 2022. The partners will deliver the project in four phases. Linkcity is currently working on the early design stages of Phase 2 of the estate masterplan, with construction due to start after the completion of phase one in summer 2025. The whole project is planned to complete in 2030.
