Grahame Park

The regeneration project aims to revitalise the estate by replacing 1,777 outdated dwellings with modern housing. This initiative is designed to improve living standards while transforming the area into a more vibrant and contemporary community.

Barnet Council, in collaboration with Notting Hill Genesis (NHG), is spearheading a transformative redevelopment project in the heart of Colindale, London NW9, known as Grahame Park.

This ambitious scheme is set to revitalize the area and deliver a host of improvements, including the construction of approximately 3,000 homes by the year 2032. Of these, around 1,800 will be designated as new private residences, while nearly 900 will offer affordable housing options.

The redevelopment plan encompasses a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade, including new roadways, pedestrian walkways, and cycling networks. It also includes the relocation of Barnet and Southgate College to the vicinity, as well as the replacement of essential community facilities such as health centers, libraries, community centers, children's activity centers, and centers for independent living.

Furthermore, the development will introduce modern retail facilities both along the main concourse and near the Colindale tube station, enhancing the convenience and accessibility of the area. Improved open spaces and green areas are also in the pipeline to provide residents with serene environments for relaxation and recreation.

The latest phase of the project involves the replacement of 630 of the estate's existing properties over the next decade, offering a diverse range of housing options, including social and affordable rent, shared ownership, and private sale. Among the new properties, 652 units, accounting for 60%, will fall under the "affordable" tenure, encompassing social, affordable, and London Living rents, as well as shared ownership. The remaining 431 units will be available for private sale.

As part of the revitalization efforts, a council-operated community hub is set to emerge, offering an array of essential services such as a nursery, GP surgery, hall, and health facilities. Residents can also look forward to enhanced green spaces and play areas, including a woodland walk and accessible pocket parks.

Grahame Park, originally comprising 1,777 homes when it welcomed its first residents in 1971, is witnessing a significant transformation. The regeneration journey began in 2007 with the signing of a Principal Development Agreement between the Council and Genesis, with construction led by Countryside Properties PLC.

Grahame Park's redevelopment promises a brighter and more vibrant future for the Colindale community, where modern living meets convenience and quality of life is at the forefront of the vision. Stay tuned for further updates on this remarkable project!
