UK: Construction group Galliford Try has completed the first phase of build-to-rent (BTR) homes at Brent Cross Town in London, part of an £8 billion regeneration project led by developer Related Argent and Barnet Council.
Known as The Maple, Plot 13 delivers 249 BTR apartments across four blocks ranging from eight to 16 storeys.
The scheme includes studio to four-bedroom homes, with ground-floor retail and leisure units, a community space, and a shared basement car park.
The interiors, designed by Conran and Partners, and the architecture by Squire & Partners and WCA, form part of a mixed-use neighbourhood spanning 180 acres.
The project follows Galliford Try’s recent completion of 281 apartments at Ashley Road in Tottenham Hale.
Construction is already underway on the second phase, Plot 14, which will add 286 more homes when completed later this year.
Residents of both phases will have access to a gym, swimming pool, spa facilities, pet wash station, and landscaped podium gardens.
In line with Brent Cross Town’s ambition to achieve net-zero carbon status, The Maple has been built using sustainable methods, including modular bathroom pods.
A full carbon life cycle assessment has been carried out to cut embodied carbon and support circular economy goals.
Matthew Pool, managing director of Galliford Try Building London and South East Commercial, said: “We are pleased to have successfully completed Plot 13 at Brent Cross Town, a high-quality residential development that reflects our capability in delivering complex, large-scale urban projects.
“This scheme represents another positive milestone in our longstanding partnership with Related Argent, and we are proud to contribute to the continued progression of this significant regeneration project.”
When completed, Brent Cross Town will be one of Europe’s largest regeneration schemes, delivering 6,700 homes, three million square feet of offices and workspace, a new high street, three redeveloped schools, and more than 50 acres of public parks and playing fields.
