UK: Outpost Management has welcomed the first residents to its latest coliving scheme, Enclave: Acton, in west London.
Enclave: Acton is a 32-storey, 220,000 square foot residential-led, mixed-use scheme, built by developer/contractor Tide Construction, in conjunction with HTA Design, and delivered through Outpost Management’s joint venture with BlackRock’s Real Estate business. It features 462 studios, in a range of sizes, available on an all-inclusive basis with flexible tenures.
To celebrate the opening, a launch festival will be taking place on Saturday 15th November, free to residents and members of the public. Featuring an extensive curated programme of creative activities, professional and personal development talks, and wellness and fitness sessions, the festival will showcase Enclave: Acton and its 30 varied amenity spaces.
Spread across five dedicated floors, they include a sky lounge bar, private and communal dining, coworking spaces, a library, cinema, karaoke room, spa with sauna and steam room, gym, 3d-golf and multi-sports simulation suite, and indoor basketball court. Residents are also able to enjoy a 2,000 square foot landscaped roof terrace on the 32nd floor, giving extensive views across London.
Troy Tomasik, CEO of Outpost Management, said: “We’re excited to open Enclave: Acton, our latest London development and the fourth in our growing portfolio of Enclave assets alongside King’s Cross, Croydon, and Birmingham City. With beautifully designed apartments and five floors of outstanding amenities, Enclave: Acton delivers our effortless living concept — convenience-led, tech-enabled, and all-inclusive. This vibrant new community reflects our commitment to creating high-quality homes that empower residents to live productively, healthily, and happily.”
Standing at 106 metres, the development is West London’s tallest volumetric building. Employing an innovative volumetric construction approach, the development was built using Tide’s offsite manufacturing sister company, Vision. The development is an exemplar of the benefits of volumetric modular construction, which can deliver homes up to 50% faster than traditional building methods. As a result, Enclave: Acton has been delivered in a mere 18 months including preparation works and the delivery of its two-level basement.
Christy Hayes, chief executive of Tide Construction, said: “Enclave: Acton marks our first collaboration with BlackRock’s real estate division and our second with Outpost Management, following Enclave: Croydon – part of our College Road development that delivered 1,000 homes in just 28 months. This project demonstrates how volumetric construction enables high-quality, sustainable housing delivery at pace and scale, with 462 homes completed in less than 18 months. Tide and Vision’s precision manufacturing ensured the scheme was delivered on time and to plan, reinforcing the programme, cost, and quality certainty that underpins our strong, repeat and long-term partnerships with funders and developers.”
The building has been designed for visual impact, including a stepped form and chamfered facets to create a sculptural form. The façade features natural and warm glazed terracotta tiles that add texture and variation, and a vertical grain that interacts with changing light conditions. The recessed entrances at the ground floor create generous public areas, with integrated planters that join the scheme to the surrounding streetscape.
All apartments are Smart Home-enabled, allowing residents to control their heating, lighting, energy use, and access whether at home or away via a resident app, while also significantly improving the energy performance of the building. Smart Bluetooth door locks mean residents can enter the development and their apartments using their phone, removing the need to carry keys or swipe cards Residents can use a dedicated app to make rent payments, request maintenance help, reserve amenity spaces, track package deliveries and stay connected with their new community. 1GB Wi-Fi is also available in all apartments and communal areas.
