Chatham Waterfront triumphant at LABC Regional Awards

Medway Development Company’s Chatham Waterfront development has been named the South East Regional Winner for Best High-Volume New Housing Development at this year’s LABC Building Excellence Awards 2026.

The LABC Awards recognise outstanding projects and teams across the building control sector, celebrating high standards of construction, technical excellence and collaboration across the built environment.

Lewis Small, Managing Director of Medway Development Company, said, “We are delighted that Chatham Waterfront has been recognised at this year’s LABC Building Excellence Awards. The award reflects the quality and care that has gone into delivering these new homes and is a great achievement for everyone involved in the project.

“We are proud to be contributing to the ongoing regeneration of Chatham and creating high-quality places for people to live.”

Chatham Waterfront is a new landmark riverside community, providing 111 high-quality one- and two-bedroom apartments for rent across four distinct buildings, set within beautifully landscaped open space in the heart of Chatham.

The development forms part of Medway Development Company’s wider regeneration of Chatham town centre, combining contemporary new homes with commercial and retail space to create a vibrant new neighbourhood in the heart of the town.

The apartments offer spacious and affordable contemporary living in a well-connected location, less than 40 minutes from Central London. With excellent transport links, waterside surroundings and a growing community, Chatham Waterfront is helping to support the ongoing transformation of Chatham as a place to live, work and visit.

All regional winners will now be entered into the LABC Grand Finals which take place in January.

Two-bedroom apartments start from £1,250 per calendar month at Chatham Waterfront.
