More than 630 new homes are to be built at Wembley Park in London.

Wates has won a £161.5 million with Quintain to build 633 new homes at the site, including 347 build to rent and 286 'affordable' homes.

The contract for twin plots E01 and E02 marks the largest ever deal awarded to Wates on a single site, as well as £1.7 billion worth of construction contracts awarded by Quintain at Wembley Park.

The homes will neighbour Boxpark Wembley and a brand new seven acre park, as well as having access to private communal landscaped gardens, as well as a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA). The building will also include a gym, with a children's nursery at ground level.
