Contractor Osborne is believed to have landed the project to redevelop Twickenham station as part of a double project win for developer Solum. The scheme will help to ease the Twickenham Station scrum on rugby matchdays. Work is due to start in April.
The bigger Twickenham station scheme has been on the cards for many years, originally due to be completed in time for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, but hit by delays. The Twickenham scheme will provide a new gateway to the town centre, with 115 new homes along with shops and restaurants built around a new public plaza. The development will provide a new station, with a significantly larger ticket office, new lifts and stairs and new toilets.
Since first mooted the price of the scheme is rumoured to have almost doubled to around £60m.
