Contractor: Balfour Beatty

The first phase of a new neighbourhood in Olympic Park has been completed, providing the area with 302 homes, a nursery and a Co-op branch. 

The East Wick and Sweetwater neighbourhood also boasts Clarnico Club, a multi-purpose marketing and social hub with a café and flexible event space. 

The new community is nestled between Hackney Wick and Stratford and is being built as a joint Venture between development company Places For People and Balfour Beatty Investments on behalf of the London Legacy Development Corporation. 

The development has allowed for major infrastructure improvements including the new Monier Road bridge which connects the communities of Fish Island and Olympic Park, allowing more sustainable access via buses, cycling and walking.
