Leigham Court historic renovation and new build of 35 homes completes

Columbia Group is delighted to confirm the completion of the Leigham Court project by its subsidiary Formation Design & Build. This project combines new build housing and the integration and refurbishment of an historic building in a Conservation Area to provide 35 new homes (with the majority for private sale) along with commercial space at ground level. ‘The South London Press’ building is a 1920s, art deco, six storey, brick building and we have restored the original facades, remodelled the interior and added a floor and a half to create two new penthouses and a communal roof terrace. The new extension adds seven storeys of additional accommodation.

David Kennedy, CEO of Columbia Group, commented:

‘This is an absolutely fantastic project, combining the best of restoration and new build in one. We love working with historic buildings, as it enables us to protect them for future generations, while at the same time providing essential new infrastructure.’
