Lend Lease unveils shortlist for Olympic Village build

Olympic Village developer Lend Lease has announced the shortlist of companies bidding to build on a 300 home plot on the site.

Ardmore Construction, Galliford Try and Wates are all in the running, with a decision expected at the end of July.

Lend Lease athletes village project director Rob Johnson said: ‘Lend Lease and the Olympic Delivery Authority are pleased at the level of competitiveness and interest shown in the tender process.

‘We look forward to working with the contractors to finalise an arrangement that will deliver the high quality outcome we are after.’

The Olympic Village will house athletes during the 2012 games, and afterwards will be turned into around 3,000 homes, at least a third of which will be affordable housing.

Work has been carried out to prepare the site and put in the necessary site infrastructure, and the construction of the village is now moving ahead.
