Silvertown

Silvertown is a striking new residential development located on the north bank of the Thames in close proximity to the Thames Barrier in the London Borough of Newham. The site is approximately 0.4ha of former industrial use and is largely bounded on three sides by existing buildings. The development comprises 161 apartments and duplexes in three distinct blocks of accommodation, ranging from 8 to 12 storeys with podium level and rooftop amenity spaces including external play areas, orientated on a north-south axis fronting onto Thames Road with generous views over the River Thames.

The 165,000 sq ft sustainable and environmentally responsible scheme is part of the wider regeneration of Newham, providing high-quality new homes in a well-connected riverside location. Energy efficient design measures and on-site renewable technologies are key considerations of the works with the extensive use of PV panels, future connectivity to the proposed local district heating network, green roofs and drainage attenuation. The project aims to maximise the social benefits of the development with the integration of rooftop playgrounds and beautifully landscaped communal green areas.

Rainey & Best have adopted a collaborative working approach throughout this project with the project team to deliver this community driven project to meet challenging programme and budget constraints. The design utilises a high-quality brick as the primary material with banding and pier features to create a striking modern residential development that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding built environment.

Rainey & Best provided quantity surveying and project management services throughout the duration of the project.
