Phase II of Wembley South West Lands Granted Approval

Published on 21 November 2017

JTP’s proposals for a 553-home urban quarter within Quintain’s Wembley Park masterplan have received reserved matters planning approval from Brent Council.

The second phase of this new neighbourhood, named Wembley South West Lands, sits within JTP’s consented masterplan, immediately south and west of Wembley Stadium and directly adjacent to Wembley Stadium Station.

The proposals will deliver 553 new homes, 114 of which will be affordable and will be delivered by developer, Quintain. The private homes are designed for the burgeoning Build to Rent sector and respond to the lifestyle requirements of the anticipated market of co-renters and families, with communal residents’ facilities including a gym, a library, bookable meeting rooms, flexible workspaces, a lounge and a 24/7 concierge.

Wembley South West Lands is formed around a series of south-facing courtyards, stepping down to reveal spectacular views across London, while South Way and Station Square are activated at ground level with terraces, residents’ facilities and retail uses to animate the space, as well as the experience of walking between the station and the stadium.

The architectural language is undeniably bold; orthogonal grids and strong patterns are designed for maximum off-site construction. Bathroom pods, large windows and balconies are stacked to create a regular façade reminiscent of the meatpacking district warehouse aesthetic.

Quintain’s wider Wembley Park masterplan is currently the largest Build to Rent project in the UK, with over 5,000 homes. JTP felt it was crucial therefore that their proposals created a unique identity for Wembley South West Lands, enabling it to stand alone as a place while creating a sense of belonging within the overall masterplan.

JTP took the proposals forwards into design optimisation, pattern book detailing, interior design and working drawings, driving innovation through the use of pioneering software Lumion to create highly realistic virtual reality environments to share with clients and consultants. JTP has also taken on the role of BIM Coordinator and was responsible for delivering a fully resolved Revit model to the client.

Construction is ongoing and the first homes within Wembley South West Lands will be completed in 2019.
