Phase two of the Ferrum project is already underway which will see an additional 553 rental homes built in the Wembley Park vicinity.

Darragh Greenan, Contracts Director at McAleer & Rushe said: “I am extremely proud of the whole McAleer & Rushe team to have successfully completed Phase 1 of South West Lands ahead of programme and on budget as part of the transformation of Wembley Park.

“This is down to the strong and collaborative relationship we have with Quintain and the dedicated supply chain that have supported the construction of this development. The strong framework we have built will see us through to another fantastic handover of Phase 2 in 2020, for a further 553 new homes.”
