Extraspace Solutions will provide 200 new units by 2021 in scheme that mirrors RSHP’s Y:Cube project

Modular buildings specialist Extraspace Solutions has won a £40m contract to supply temporary housing for homeless families as part of a London-wide initiative.

The deal will see Extraspace deliver 200 relocatable homes for the Pan-London Accommodation Collaborative Enterprise (Place) by 2021.

Under the scheme, which is reminiscent of RSHP’s Y:Cube temporary housing project, Extraspace’s homes are intended for use on “meanwhile” sites earmarked for development in the long term, but which would otherwise remain underused over the short to medium term.
