Capita has been appointed by IJM Land to project and cost manage its £200 million Royal Mint Gardens development.

The 550 unit project is adjacent to Tower Bridge in central London.

The scheme is the first major UK project for IJM Land.

Capita has been appointed as project manager for phase one of the build and as cost manager for phase two.

The project will involve development over and around the existing Docklands Light Railway (DLR) viaduct which crosses the site.

David Law, from IJM Land, said: "When we were looking for delivery partners, Capita ticked all the boxes – its breadth of expertise, its broad experience and the scale to deliver a project like this.

"In particular, its history of working on rail infrastructure projects gives us the confidence it can manage the complicated build around the DLR – as well as the stakeholder management process with Transport for London and Network Rail."

Executive Director at Capita, Simon Birchall, said: "Royal Mint Gardens will be IJM’s flagship first project in London, and we look forward to working with it over the next four years to deliver an iconic residential development."
