UK: Greystar has secured planning permission from Croydon Council for the One Lansdowne Road BTR scheme.
Greystar bought the central Croydon site in late 2022, and its initial plans were revised in June 2023 following a public consultation, prior to submission that July. Following feedback, the building heights have been reduced to 47 and 35 storeys from 68 and 41.
The One Lansdowne Road scheme will include the regeneration of a derelict brownfield site in the Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF), alongside wider transport network improvements for pedestrians and cyclists to East Croydon Station.
Overall, the modular development will comprise 806 homes (an increase from the originally proposed 780) in a mix of 114 studios, 392 one-bedroom, 208 two-bedroom and 92 three-bedroom homes, and includes homes delivered at discount market rent; 15 per cent (116) affordable and 10.6 per cent family and wheelchair accessible.
Building A now has 46 residential floors and 50 storeys in total, as AOD height has been increased from 42 residential floors and 48 storeys (156.570 metres total) to 163.3 metres.
Building B now has 29 residential floors and 31 storeys total, as AOD height has been increased from 33 residential floors and 35 storeys (117.720 metres total) to 104.9 metres.
Amenities and benefits at the One Lansdowne Road development will include a gym, rooftop gardens, co-working office space, a safer link to the station, new CCTV, lighting and a 24-hour concierge.

Designed by HTA Design, the One Lansdowne Road scheme will replace an 11-storey link building with a green public square that includes new trees, planting and an outdoor play trail.
Public realm improvements will also be made, including the creation of a pocket park, highway works and street tree planting. The scheme will provide space for a small retailer, such as bakery, sandwich or coffee shop.
