Sisk has been awarded the contract to lead the construction of the latest phase of the ambitious 42-acre Battersea Power Station regeneration project, set to begin in summer 2026.

Two new buildings designed by world-renowned architectural practice, Gehry Partners, will complete Electric Boulevard, the neighbourhood’s new pedestrianised high street

Forming Phase 3C of the Battersea Power Station masterplan, the announcement of Sisk is a notable step in progressing the remaining half of the riverside neighbourhood, with 16 acres of brownfield site still to be delivered

Battersea Power Station has already become an established mixed-use destination centred around the Grade II* listed landmark, which has welcomed over 40 million visitors since opening in 2022

Battersea Power Station announces today that Sisk has been awarded the contract 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.

James Saunders, CEO at Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC), said:

“Today’s announcement is an important milestone in realising the vision for this ambitious 42-acre regeneration site. Phase 3C will complete Electric Boulevard, a critical part of the estate which continues to grow from strength to strength with new brand openings, office tenants and a new entrance to our Zone 1 Underground Station which opened last year. We look forward to working with Sisk to add two further Gehry Partners’ designed buildings to the inspiring, world-class architecture that defines Electric Boulevard and frames the iconic Grade II* listed Power Station.”

Steven McGee, Chief Operating Officer, Ireland and UK, Sisk said:

“Battersea Power Station is one of London’s most iconic regeneration projects and we are proud to have been appointed as main contractor for this next phase of development. This is a significant appointment for Sisk and reflects our growing capability in the UK residential sector. Together with our ongoing work at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, Bermondsey and recently completed Silvertown and Wembley Park projects, it further strengthens our footprint in London and demonstrates the confidence clients are placing in Sisk to deliver complex projects at scale. We will bring our expertise in Modern Methods of Construction, offsite delivery and major project execution to Phase 3C, while working closely with BPSDC and local partners to create a sustainable impact in the Borough of Wandsworth.”

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.
