Galliford Try has secured two housing contracts in East London worth a combined £60m. Both involve delivering housing schemes for registered provider Peabody.

The first scheme will involve providing the £35.4m first phase of a four-phase development at Devon's Road in Bow which will initially create 259 mixed-tenure homes. The works also include 1585sqm of commercial space, associated external works and landscaping.

The second project involves the redevelopment of the former Plaistow Hospital site in Newham to celebrate Peabody's 150th year. The £24.9m project will enable the realisation of the winning design in an international competition which Peabody ran to celebrate its milestone anniversary. The scheme will consist of 168 mixed tenure homes, and extends to the restoration of historic hospital buildings and creation of new-build homes at the site. The scheme is expected to achieve Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4.
