Wandsworth Council has marked a major step in regenerating the former Ram Brewery site, as The Artisan tower at Wandsworth Mills reached full height.
The 36-storey building will deliver 172 low-carbon homes, with residents expected to move in next year. The wider 3.4-acre scheme beside the River Wandle will provide 389 homes in total, including Shared Ownership properties delivered with Wandle Housing Association.
The masterplan combines new residential blocks with restored Grade II listed townhouses, while also improving the town centre with 210 metres of upgraded river frontage and 2,000 square metres of public realm. The topping-out ceremony was held at the top of The Artisan and attended by council leader Cllr Robert Morritt, Planning Committee chair Cllr Ravi Govindia, Berkeley, Wandle Housing Association, Statom Group, and other project partners.
Cllr Morritt welcomed the progress, saying the development will bring new homes, jobs and better access along the river. Berkeley managing director Marcus Blake said the milestone reflects strong collaboration and confidence in delivering a sustainable new part of Wandsworth Town centre.
The project also supports local opportunities through employment, training, work experience and upskilling, with Berkeley working with Wandsworth Council’s Work Match team. In addition, the scheme is helping open up the River Wandle through new riverside routes, habitat improvements and public connections to a site that was previously inaccessible. This forms part of the council’s wider push for long-term investment.
