Barratt London has formed a joint venture with the Hyde Group to develop the 30 acre former Kodak Industrial Complex in Harrow & Wealdstone.
The Harrow View East scheme already has Outline Planning Permission for a large scale mixed-use residential-led development providing 1,150 new homes, 350,000 sq ft of employment space, senior living facilities a community centre and leisure uses.
Matt Calladine, Regional Land & Development Director at Barratt London, said: “The acquisition provides both Barratt London and Hyde an excellent opportunity to deliver new homes within the London Borough of Harrow following the recent success of the former Royal Mail sorting office at Harrow-on-the Hill.”
Mike Johnson, Development Director (London and Kent) at the Hyde Group, said: “We are delighted to have teamed up with Barratt London for a second joint venture in Harrow.
“The housing shortage in London will only be solved if we all play our part and work together. This acquisition is a prime example of how partnership working can deliver many of the new homes that the people of London and the South East so desperately need.”
This is the second joint venture for Barratt London and Hyde.
Last October the partnership secured Harrow Square; a scheme of 318 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, and a new 1,450 sq m library at its centre.
