Brussels, 25/06/2009 (Agence Europe) - The European Investment Bank (EIB) is signing a £95 million (approximately €107 million) loan to Triathlon Homes LLP to support the development of accommodation for athletes at the 2012 London Olympics, under the auspices of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA). Over 1300 athletes' flats will be converted into social housing units after the Games as part of the overall Olympics legacy. The project will be undertaken on a fully regenerated former industrial site and will provide essential infrastructure which supports the development plans of the surrounding London boroughs. The Village and its facilities have been planned to adhere to high energy efficiency standards. (O.L./transl.fl)
