A former printworks on Amelia Street in Southwark has been developed by the Homes and Communities Agency with innovative housing developer First Base under the London Wide Initiative.

The initiative is a collaboration between HCA, ODPM and the GLA to increase the supply of affordable homes in London.

Printworks is a high quality mixed-tenure development, designed by Glenn Howell Architects, which will make a substantial contribution to the regeneration of the Elephant & Castle area, providing affordable homes for keyworkers alongside private for sale and socially-rented homes.

The nine storey block includes offices on the ground floor. A landscaped courtyard to the rear will provide a tranquil green space for residents.
