SNG and Greystar ‘top out’ at Stratford development delivering 42 affordable homes
SNG and Greystar marked a key milestone of the delivery of 42 affordable homes in Stratford in the London Borough of Newham. A traditional ‘topping out’ ceremony was held at the development site on Marshgate Lane on Thursday 23 October with representatives from both organisations and contractors GRAHAM marking progress on the scheme.
The SNG managed homes will see 34 apartments for London Affordable Rent and eight for Shared Ownership, all built on a previously unused brownfield site. It forms part of the first phase of the larger Stratford Mill scheme being delivered by Greystar, which will see these 42 affordable homes join a wider project of 247 homes and commercial space.
The homes will offer access to outdoor space and align with our Homes and Place Standard, ensuring the highest quality of living for future residents. Customers will have excellent access to green spaces, such as the nearby Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, along with great transport links via Pudding Mill Lane and Stratford stations, including the Elizabeth Line.
The first SNG customers are expected to move into their new homes in 2026.
Paul Haines, SNG’s Construction and Delivery Director, commented: “It’s fantastic to see this development reach another key milestone. Through partnership working we’re able to deliver good affordable homes for people with access to excellent transport and jobs in this exciting corner of East London.”
Daniel Thompson, Managing Director – UK Development, Greystar, said: “The topping out of Stratford Mill marks an important step forward for our UK development pipeline. In a challenging market, maintaining momentum on projects like this shows our confidence in the strength and resilience of the rental sector. It also recognises the hard work and collaboration of our team, our partners and the local community.”
Pat O'Hare, Regional Director, GRAHAM, said: “This milestone reflects the dedication and professionalism of everyone involved. Reaching this stage on programme, amid wider market pressures, underlines the focus and expertise of the delivery team. We look forward to completing the next phase of works.”
