Ikon Consultancy, LSH’s residential and mixed-use project management arm, alongside Cast Consultancy, has been appointed as Employer’s Agent by the London Borough of Hackney for nine projects as part of their New Homes Programme – South.

The Council is delivering 325 high-quality, sustainable new homes, of which 230 are for much needed social rent at Council rent levels on underutilised council housing land, complemented by enhanced public realm improvements and community-focused facilities. We are committed to leveraging our extensive project management expertise, particularly in navigating the complexities of constrained urban sites, to support the Council in achieving these ambitious and socially valuable developments.

Craig Barnes, Head of Ikon Consultancy, said: “Our client, London Borough of Hackney has an established reputation for delivering high-quality affordable housing. Despite the challenges currently facing the sector and the wider housebuilding industry, this programme further underscores the Council’s steadfast commitment to its residents and its ongoing dedication to sustainability, social value, and improving residents’ quality of life through well-designed, inclusive housing solutions."

The appointment positions Ikon and Cast to leverage their expertise in navigating complex urban sites, supporting Hackney in delivering socially valuable developments that benefit both current and future residents.

The project team is excited to collaborate closely with Hackney and Cast Consultancy to bring these ambitious homes to life
