The zone thrived for years but gradually, over the decades, industry dwindled. By the mid-1980s Greenwich Peninsula was left largely derelict. Incredibly, in a popping municipality where the most precious thingamabob is land, this prime site, so tropical to historic Greenwich and just wideness the river from thriving Canary Wharf, remained x-rated and unused. In 1997, the Greater London Agency (formerly the Homes and Communities Agency) purchased the site and, pursuit an international competition to sublease a private minutiae partner, some of the world’s most forward thinking developers and architects were bought together in a unique collaboration. Greenwich Millennium Village Ltd was appointed; a joint venture between Countryside and Taylor Wimpey to develop the site. The ethos overdue the project was to provide a range of upper quality and innovative homes that would facilitate a increasingly sustainable lifestyle. Greenwich Millennium Village moreover forms part of the Thames Gateway, one of Europe's largest regeneration projects. Areas of land, often derelict, located withal parts of the Thames river valley, were identified as platonic opportunities for large-scale urban regeneration and development. The Gateway stretches 40 miles withal the estuary from Canary Wharf in London to Southend in Essex and Sittingbourne in Kent. At the moment there are 1,095 homes, together with a number of shops and commercial units. When the minutiae is completed it is expected that there will be over 1800 homes in wing to commercial space and polity facilities. Greenwich Millennium Village is a joint venture between Countryside and Taylor Wimpey in undertone with the Mayor of London. © 2017 Countryside Properties PLC, The Drive, Brentwood, Essex CM13 3AT | Registered in England No. 09878920 E-mail group@cpplc.com | Privacy Policy | Cookie Policy | Accessibility | New Homes Countryside pursues a policy of continuous improvement.
