Citadel Place Vauxhall

14 September 2024

The proposed development of Citadel Place will provide new homes and student accommodation, alongside vibrant ground floor uses.  This transformation will breathe new life into the current site and its surroundings, as well as contributing to the local economy.


The vision is for a sustainable redevelopment of the site, providing:

  • New high-quality homes for Lambeth

  • Purpose built student accommodation, meeting demand and relieving pressure on local housing

  • Attractive, welcoming public spaces for the whole community – with plentiful greenery

  • Active uses at ground level to promote safe and inclusive spaces, as well as increasing vibrancy and supporting the local economy

  • New, landscaped pedestrian routes through the site

 

Development Management Limited (DML) has been appointed to work closely with the landowner to submit planning applications by Q2 2025. DML’s role will include overseeing the RIBA Stage 2 planning process and collaborating with the client to design a sustainable, investor-friendly development that reflects the vision for this transformative opportunity.

On Monday 6th January 2025 DML Founder Kevin McGovern assumed the role of Chairman of DML.  Rory McGovern has been promoted to the role of Chief Executive. Rory will now lead the executive team made up of Matthew Dymott, Rachel Warren and Nilisha Patel.

 

Commenting on this change, Kevin McGovern said “Having founded DML 20 years ago it is now time to step away from day to day operational control and support the team in moving forwards.  It is a good time for DML in commencing 2025 with a number of prestigious projects across several sectors of the market.  I am sure the business will continue to grow and prosper.”
