Last stage commercial partner documents released for £1.5 billion Elephant and Castle regeneration
July 2006
Southwark Council has released documents marking the third and final stage of its European procurement exercise to find a commercial partner for the £1.5 billion regeneration of Elephant and Castle.
The documents contain results of three years of detailed design and technical assessment of Elephant and Castle, undertaken by the council and its professional team.
The developers still competing from an original short list of eight are:
· Key Property Investments (a joint venture vehicle between St Modwen and Salhia)
· Lend Lease Europe Limited (in collaboration with First Base and Oakmayne)
· Oceancrest (a consortium of Blackfriars Investments, Le Frak Organisation, Chelsfield Partners and Glebe Holdings)
The developers submissions are due back to the council by 31 October, following which they will be carefully evaluated and assessed by the councils executive committee around the turn of the year.
