Celebrating Topping Out at Lexden and Steyne Road
Key points
Recently our Lexden and Steyne Road project team successfully celebrated reaching their topping out milestone – a significant step forward in delivering 188 new homes for the London Borough of Ealing and their community.
To mark the occasion, the team welcomed Cllr Peter Mason, Leader of the London Borough of Ealing Council, Cllr Louise Brett, Deputy Leader, Cabinet Member for Safe, Genuinely Affordable Homes and community representatives on the 20th floor for speeches and panoramic views of the city.
Speakers included Cllr Peter Mason, Leader of the Council and Richard Eager, Divisional Director. Both highlighted the collaborative effort and dedication shown that has brought the project to this exciting stage.
Ealing Council leader Peter Mason said: “These new homes mark a major step in tackling the shortage of genuinely affordable housing in our borough, giving local people the security, stability, and foundation they need for a better quality of life.
“We are building stronger communities full of pride, identity, and purpose, where everyone can benefit from the growing prosperity in our 7 towns. It’s not just about new buildings, but about creating abetter-connected borough for residents of all ages.”
