Steve Sanham, development director at Hub Residential said: “We’re delighted to have appointed Carillion for our Victoria Docks development.

“They bring a wealth of experience and quality to a scheme that we see as a figurehead for housing development in London that is within reach of hard-working Londoners but does not compromise on design or standards.”
