McLaren Construction has secured a £25m deal from Development Securities to build the first phase of a £200m mixed-use regeneration scheme in north west London.
The former Oriental City shopping centre in Collindale is being redeveloped with 223 town houses and apartments, a 80,000 sq ft Morrisons foodstore and additional retail facilities.
Work on the 399 Edgware Road development is set to begin in the Autumn with Morrisons and the oriental and far eastern foodcourt opening in 2015.
There will then be a phased delivery of the residential element of the scheme, with the first units completed by 2016.
