Two buildings extend Electric Boulevard

Designed by Gehry Partners, Rosewood House and Hayworth House will add approximately 300 homes, commercial premises and community facilities. BPSDC says the scheme will complete Electric Boulevard, the development's pedestrianised high street. Sisk is the main contractor, according to the 9 September statement.

IN Site's report the following day describes 65,000 square feet of commercial space and a 15,000-square-foot community hub, alongside expanded cycle facilities. These uses make the phase a mixed-use addition to the neighbourhood, with activity extending beyond the residential entrances.

The developer says the bike hub will provide 600 free spaces. Green roofs on both buildings form part of a design targeting at least 10% biodiversity net gain. These remain project commitments to be delivered during the construction programme.

Building beside an occupied neighbourhood

The new phase sits within a district that already functions as a place to live, work and visit. IN Site highlights the practical consequences: access, deliveries and lifting operations must coexist with residents, businesses and visitors using completed sections.

That setting makes the boundary between construction and everyday activity an important part of delivery. A supplier's ability to work within agreed access windows or coordinate installations with neighbouring uses may be as relevant as the equipment itself. Such requirements would need to be established through the project team.

The commercial accommodation also creates interfaces between the building works and future occupiers. Base services, access arrangements and finishes may need to accommodate different operating patterns. For specialists considering the project, understanding where the main building contract ends and an occupier's fit-out begins would be a useful first step.

A construction signal for specialist suppliers

With Sisk appointed and construction under way, firms offering building services, roof systems or cycle-storage equipment may find the project relevant if suitable packages remain available. The published scope helps identify a possible technical fit; it does not disclose an open tender or establish purchasing dates.

The next useful information for a prospective supplier would be the package schedule, specification and procurement route. The 2030 completion target provides programme context, but individual trades will have their own earlier deadlines. Any commercial approach should reflect that sequence.
