Galliard Homes

Galliard Homes is a British real estate development company that specializes in the creation of residential properties, and is one of the largest private real estate developers in the capital. The main office is located in Lawton. Galliard Homes' property developments can be found throughout London and southern England. The company's properties range from newly-built homes to converted or refurbished schemes as well as significant mixed-use developments.

History of Galliard Homes

The history of the company began in 1992. It was founded by Stephen Conway, who is still chairman of the company, leaving the CEO only in 2017. The developer's first project was Papermill Wharf in 1993. The housebuilder Galliard Homes was one of the first companies to return to Docklands after a property collapse in the 1990s. The company then sold a one-bedroom apartment starting at £39,995 and received a great response. Thus, the property sold out almost over the weekend.

Over the following years, Galliard Homes provided many more iconic house developments. Here are some of them:

• Burrells Wharf (1994) is an impressive conversion of Victorian warehouses. The residential complex offers extensive views of the Thames and Greenwich. These are one of the very first loft-style apartments in the capital.
• County Hall (1995) became a historic event, as long before the London Eye or Tate Modern, the company acquired the north and south blocks of the former headquarters of the GLC, opposite the parliament building. Thus, when sales opened, there were huge lines of those who wanted to possess a piece of historic London.
• The Whitehouse Apartments (1996) are located on the South Bank, right behind the Royal Festival Hall. This property offers some of the best river views in London.
• Butler's Wharf (1997) is a successful transformation of a car park and abandoned warehouse into a prime residential complex.
• Regenerating Bermondsey (2000) began with Galliard Homes buying an entire street full of old and dilapidated houses. The company then replaced all buildings with 'new Victorian' houses, inspired by historical buildings.
• The Park Plaza Hotel (2005) was built on the old island and was part of the original headquarters of the company.
• Greenwich peninsula (2007) was acquired in full by Galliard Homes. This is a unique historic area that was formerly part of the Royal Tudor Dockyard, established by King Henry VIII, and where Sir Francis Drake was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I. Now it houses a unique complex of 900 new build homes.
• Chiltern Street, Marylebone (2011) is another wonderful makeover of the former car park. There are 44 ultra-luxurious apartments here.
• Baltimore Tower (2013) is a striking 46-story residential tower located next to Canary Wharf.
• Great Scotland Yard (2015), thanks to a complete internal transformation, turned into a luxury hotel consisting of 110 rooms.

Company's Awards

During its work, the home builder has received many awards in the professional field. So, in 2013, Galliard Homes won 'Best Large Development' in the prestigious Evening Standard New Homes Awards 2013. Then, in 2017, the developer was proud to be honoured with the distinguished 'Best Apartment' award at The Evening Standard New Homes Awards 2017.
