Chinese developer names builder for London debut scheme

Chinese developer Poly UK has appointed Bennett Construction to build a 257-home scheme in north west London.

The Plaza Collection scheme in Mill Hill has a development value of £380m and marks Poly’s entrance into the UK market following decades of success in China, Australia and America.

It forms a key part of the wider Millbrook Park transformation – a new 2,000-plus home development on the site of the former Inglis Barracks.

In total, Poly UK’s portion of the site will deliver over 700 residential units, a new landscaped plaza and 1,400sqm of associated commercial and retail space over four different phases. The development will form a much-needed gateway between Millbrook Park and Mill Hill East Station.

May Zhao, Executive Director, Poly UK, said: “As this is Poly’s first residential project in the UK, it is imperative that we have the best-in-class project team, from initial design to delivery, to meet our vision of creating standout homes.

“Bennett Construction has a first-class track record in delivering large-scale projects of this nature, making it an ideal partner to take the first phase of the site forward.”

“We remain highly confident in the London market”

The planned start to construction will be delayed by the coronavirus outbreak after Bennett decided to shutdown all of its construction sites.
