The project involved a 7-storey building which reflects the 6-storey Gateway Estate and other more recent developments which lie on the east side of the railway line. The building provides 17 residential units for affordable rent together with associated external works and landscaping.

Due to the location of the Network Rail railway line extensive consultations were undertaken with Network Rail and a Basic Asset Protection Agreement (BAPA) was established.

The building is concrete framed with brick cladding and feature circular columns to the balconies. The drainage design includes an attenuation tank that will be located in the sub-basement of the building. Prior to works commencing on site, Neilcott undertook the demolition and safe removal of existing temporary site hoarding, temporary structures, fly tipping and the ground clearance of overgrown vegetation.
