StercheleGroup Bathroom Pods Power Morello II Residential Towers

26 Novembre 2021

StercheleGroup is supplying 530 prefabricated bathroom pods for Morello II, part of a £350 million regeneration scheme in Croydon.

The development is being delivered in phases:

• Morello Estate: Two 25-storey towers providing 338 apartments.
• Cherry Orchard Gardens: A nine-storey stepped development delivering 118 shared-ownership and affordable homes.

Phase one has already completed more than 340 homes close to East Croydon station. Phase two will deliver additional residential units, 18,000 sq ft of commercial space, new public realm, and a bridge providing direct access to the station.

Main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine is targeting 90% responsible sourcing of materials and a 98% recycling rate for construction waste.

Off-site prefabrication, including bathroom pods, façade panels and windows, is helping to reduce on-site waste and accelerate installation. StercheleGroup’s bathroom pods are being delivered in line with programme requirements, supporting quality, efficiency and sustainability across this landmark development.

The project will also include 18,000 sq ft of commercial space, new public areas, and a new bridge linking to East Croydon railway station.

Construction works are being carried out by main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine, who is ensuring 78% responsible sourcing of key building materials, with a target of 90% within the next four months, while also aiming to divert 98% of construction waste from landfill to recycling.

Off-site prefabrication of elements such as panels, windows, and bathroom pods has been key in reducing on-site packaging waste.

Delivery of the 530 StercheleGroup bathroom pods for the two 25-storey towers is progressing according to the project schedule.
