Acorn Property Group has been chosen by Trinity House to form a consortium to redevelop a key site next to the historic Trinity Village Estate in the London Borough of Southwark.
 
Trinity House, whose prime concern for the last 500 years has been the safety of shipping and the wellbeing of seafarers, has selected the consortium, which also includes Galliard Homes and Otterlo London, because it demonstrated a keen understanding of the charity’s requirements and a strong track record of delivery. Critically, it also had a strong vision for turning the properties at 25-29 Harper Road and the former Court House on Swan Street, SE1, into a new residential development sympathetic to its surroundings.
 
Granted a Royal Charter by Henry VIII in 1514, Trinity House has always been accountable for the safety of navigation and the welfare of mariners.
 
“We are delighted to have appointed the Galliard/Acorn/Otterlo team at Harper Road,” Commander Graham Hockley, Secretary to the Trustees of Trinity House, said. “Last year, 2014, was the 500th anniversary of the incorporation of Trinity House and, as we reflect on that, we are especially anxious to maintain investment in our estate for the benefit of the Trinity House Maritime Charity.”
 
Julian Hampson, Design Director at Acorn Property Group, added: “The Galliard and Acorn partnership is a dynamic one based on a huge wealth of experience in Southwark demonstrated by a strong track record of conceiving and delivering award winning buildings. We are thrilled to be working with a longstanding landowner such as Trinity House and look forward to reinforcing our commitment to Southwark.”
