News Topping out ceremony at Medway care home development
A construction milestone has been reached at Kent’s Chatham Waters development with the topping out of a new 75-bed care home. On track for completion in the summer,
the purpose-built, four-storey home will provide specialist dementia care. Delivered in partnership by Montpelier Estates, Apex Contractors Ltd, and waterside regeneration specialists Peel Waters, the care home will sit at the centre of the Chatham Waters regeneration project, which includes over 600 new homes, the Waterfront University
Technical College, a family pub and restaurant, and a superstore. Peel Waters MD James Whittaker said:
“Reaching the topping out stage is a fantastic achievement for everyone involved. The Chatham Waters Care Home will provide excellent facilities for elderly residents in an environment that promotes wellbeing, social interaction, and dignity. “We’re very proud to reach this milestone
with our partners and it is another significant step towards delivering our vision of a thriving, inclusive, waterside neighbourhood
at Chatham Waters.” Anna Ciesielska, director of Montpelier
Estates, commented: “We are delighted to be working again with Peel to provide a home for elderly people in need of care and to be the piece of the puzzle that completes phase one of the development of Chatham Waters. “Everyone has been so welcoming that we
already feel part of the neighbourhood. This project has been much more than delivering a care home; it is heartwarming to become a part of the fabric of the whole community and we look forward to welcoming the first residents.” Apex Contractors MD Dan Hollis added:
“The topping out at Chatham Waters marks a significant collective achievement for the whole project team and the supply chain. “It is a proud moment, not just because
of the physical structure we’ve built together so quickly and safely, but because of the teamwork, dedication, and shared vision that has got us here. We are excited to maintain this togetherness and momentum, and later this year, handover a building that offers much needed facilities in the local area.”
