Plans
Berkeley Homes' proposals for this key northern gateway site include:
- A new town square accessible to all and integral to the design. Offering a public environment to the large number of people who work in Croydon.
- A 45-storey tower incorporating a light feature to the Croydon skyline.
- Approximately 800 new homes, a proportion of which will be for affordable/key worker housing. 10% will be for shared ownership housing.
- 3,000 m² of retail floorspace including shops, restaurants and cafés surrounding the public square.
- Sustainable initiatives to minimise the scheme's impact on the environment. A significant proportion of the site's energy requirements will be met by on site renewable energy sources.
- Creation of improved permeability and safeguarding of future pedestrian links between East and West Croydon stations.
