S P Setia announced that UK-based Sisk has been awarded as the contractor for the third phase of Battersea Power Station to construct the next phase of the ambitious 42-acre regeneration project.
Sisk will be responsible for constructing two new buildings designed by Gehry Partners, which will complete the neighbourhood’s new pedestrianised high street, Electric Boulevard, with works set to commence in summer 2026.
Forming Phase 3C of the 42-acre masterplan, the two buildings will comprise c. 300 new homes, 65,000 sq ft of new commercial space for shops, cafes and restaurants, a 15,000 sq ft Community Hub, and an expanded bike hub for 600 spaces available for all, free of charge.
The construction of Phase 3C is expected to create 400 jobs, with an aim for 20% of the workforce to be from the local area; a target which has been exceeded across the 7,500 jobs which have already been created at Battersea Power Station.
The two new Gehry Partners’ designed buildings will form an extension to the highly recognisable existing buildings at Prospect Place, which are fully sold and occupied, and remain the only residential buildings in the UK designed by Frank Gehry, the world-famous architect and designer of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The ongoing focus on sustainability means these latest designs have a more modern aesthetic to reduce the carbon footprint while green roofs will also be present on both buildings, contributing to a minimum 10% biodiversity net gain.
The announcement of Sisk as the contractor for Phase 3C follows Battersea Power Station’s appointment of Studio Egret West as master planner, urban designer and landscape architect for the remaining 16 acres of the riverside neighbourhood. Studio Egret West will evolve the original Rafael Viñoly masterplan, which dates back over 15 years, to respond to changes in
expectations around lifestyle, leisure and workspace.
The remaining half of the Battersea Power Station masterplan has the potential to deliver up to 3.2 million sq ft of residential, commercial, cultural and leisure space, and is one of the most exciting large-scale brownfield regeneration opportunities remaining in Central London, adding to over 2,200 homes, 800,000 sq ft of offices and 170 British and international brands
already open at the riverside neighbourhood.
