Concrete frames for the new houses are expected to start being constructed soon and work to install the external façade of the new cinema will begin next month.
The development, which will feature 150 homes, a new cinema and shops is due to be completed next summer.
In the latest edtion of their update newsletter, a Reigate and Banstead Borough Council spokesperson said:
“Significant progress has been made by the Council’s contractors, VINCI Construction UK Ltd (VINCI) and their sub-contractors on site and the cinema structure is now clearly visible alongside Marketfield Way.”
They added: “Over the next few months, the concrete frame for the new homes will begin going up and coming into the summer months you will really begin to notice the scale of the development.
“Highway works began in March and will be carried out through to the end of April to form the service access to the site and relocate the signalised pedestrian crossing point on Marketfield Way. We have coordinated our works to align with the SES Water road closure of Marketfield Way from 15 February to the end of April 2021 as part of their ongoing mains replacement in Redhill, to help minimise disruption.
“Scaffolding will soon be erected on the cinema and once the brickwork is complete and scaffolding removed, the external façade of the building will be installed from April onwards. Once the external works and brickwork to the cinema are complete, work to the façade of the new homes will begin. Roofing works to the cinema are also due to begin in April.”
