More than 500 new homes are to be built in Stratford, London.

Mace has been appointed to deliver the £180 million N06 East Village project, which will provide 524 new homes for private rental adjacent to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

The new apartments will be spread across two towers at 26- and 31-storeys, with two 10-storey pavilions merged into a single development connected by an inhabited sky-bridge. Designed by architects Hawkins Brown, the scheme also includes a landscaped private courtyard, outdoor terraces with views over Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and shared amenity space for all residents.

The residential tower project will be built on one of the last remaining development plots in the East Village neighbourhood. Overall, the scheme takes the total number of Get Living homes in the neighbourhood to 2,500, as well as retail space on the ground floor and a children's play area.

Construction is due to get underway in December, following completion of enabling works on the site.

Shaun Tate, Mace Director, said: "This is an appointment we are very proud of. N06 is an architecturally innovative development that will provide a unique living and working environment. Over the last two years, we have worked closely with Get Living on the delivery of N08 East Village and built a fantastic working relationship. It takes a close partnership between client and contractor to be effective, particularly when seeking to drive innovation in the construction sector.

"The use of our ground-breaking rising factory on N08 has driven very positive results and we look forward to developing this further with the next phase of East Village."

Neil Young, CEO of Get Living, said: "N06 is East Village's gateway to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and these new homes, retail and public space will add to the vibrancy of the existing neighbourhood.

"Over the past five years we've learnt what a great home, neighbourhood and rental experience looks like. It's this experience that has guided the development of N06 and we're now excited to see Mace appointed to bring that vision to life."
