Edmonton Green, London N19

Background

Affordable housing

The company acquired the shopping centre in 1999, through a 150 year lease  and a development agreement  with the London Borough of Enfield.

The mixed use development of the 26 acre project was extremely complex and required the participation of numerous public and private sector organisations, including the London Borough of Enfield, Transport for London, Enfield Primary Care Trust, London and Quadrant Housing Trust, the Metropolitan Housing Trust,Tower Homes, ASDA and the existing tenants in the shopping centre.

Our Vision

View over new housing

A comprehensive £100m mixed-use development to regenerate Edmonton Green, providing major community uses including a Primary Care Trust facility, a leisure centre, and a bus station, in addition to substantial new retail provision, and  residential units.

Construction of the first phase including part of the new retail and 177 residential units, the primary care centre, bus station, and leisure centre and the refurbishment of a multi-storey car park will be completed by Spring 2007. The demolition of the existing leisure centre and construction of the further leisure and retail, including an ASDA food store and a bingo hall are due to be completed in Spring 2008. Succeeding phases include the overall refurbishment of the existing shopping centre’s malls and the redevelopment of North Square for retail and residential use.

CESR

New Entrance to Market

For seven years we have worked closely with the council to help meet its aspirations to regenerate this tired area. We have consulted extensively with the local community, running the existing shopping centre and markets with a hands-on local management team, ensuring that the development programme addresses community needs and is delivered with minimum disruption.

We have become an active participant in the local community over the lengthy period of our involvement by various means including: sponsoring the Potters Bar under 11's football team and the Metropolitan Police "Street Vibe scheme"(an educational programme which is run in local schools); and by providing subsidised or free accommodation to the Artzone community centre, a credit union and  UK Emp (an employment charity).

Edmonton Green Bus Station

The opening of the bus station in January is a key part of our scheme. It will provide an integrated and sustainable transport solution for the community.The bus station will be the 10th busiest bus terminal in London, handling in excess of 5 million passengers a year.
