History

Galliard Homes was founded in 1992, [3] by Stephen Conway, who is still its chairman and stepped down as CEO in 2017. [4] In 1993, Galliard Homes purchased the completed Papermill Wharf. Galliard's Victorian conversion, Burrells Wharf followed in 1994, including a statue of engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Further developments in the Docklands include Great Jubilee Wharf, in Wapping, [5] and Millennium Quay. [6]

In 2011, together with Frogmore, Galliard acquired a site on Chiltern Street in Marylebone and began developing apartments, now known as The Chilterns. [7]

Galliard appeared on BBC One's The Apprentice in December 2015, with contestants trying to sell off-plan apartments at The Printworks in Clapham. [8]

In September 2016 Galliard's Lincoln Plaza development in London's Docklands won the Carbuncle Cup for the worst new building of the year in the UK. [9]

In November 2023, Galliard Homes, in a joint venture with Singaporean partner City Developments Limited, acquired the 13.8-acre Morden Wharf development in Greenwich. [10] [11]

Operations

With over 700 staff, Galliard is a property development, hospitality and management group overseeing mixed-use residential, hotel and commercial projects across London and southern England, with a £3.6 billion portfolio of over 6,000 homes, 950 hotel rooms, and one million square feet of retail premises and commercial properties. [12]

Led by chairman and chief executive officer Stephen Conway, the Group has three divisions, Galliard Homes, Galliard Commercial and Galliard Construction. [13]

In July 2015, Singaporean developer, Oxley Holdings entered into a subscription and shareholders' agreement to acquire a 20% stake in the enlarged share capital of Galliard for £50m. [14]

The Stage, Shoreditch is among the projects under development by Galliard Homes. [15]

A 1999 legal case, Galliard Homes v J Jarvis and Sons, is relevant to the interpretation of letters of intent, pre-contractual documents issued in order to set a project underway. In this case, the formal contract documents were never signed, and a dispute arose regarding the project. The High Court held that the intention of both parties had been to enter into a formal contract executed as a deed, but this did not take place and there was therefore no contract in place. [16]

During April 2023, Galliard announced they have signed the UK government's post-Grenfell remediation contract. The contract aims for developers to ensure and tackle critical fire safety defects in buildings that are 11 meters or taller in buildings built in the past 30 years. [17]

London Docklands is the riverfront and former docks in London. It is located in inner east and southeast London, in the boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Lewisham, Newham and Greenwich. The docks were formerly part of the Port of London, at one time the world's largest port. After the docks closed, the area had become derelict and poverty-ridden by the 1980s. The Docklands' regeneration began later that decade; it has been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use. The name "London Docklands" was used for the first time in a government report on redevelopment plans in 1971 and has since been almost universally adopted. The redevelopment created wealth, but also led to some conflict between the new and old communities in the area.
