Meridian One

Location and regeneration context

This development, named the Willoughby Heights Project, is located in the Enfield area of North London, Zone 3, N18 postcode on Willoughby Lane. The local council is working hard to change things here thoroughly. They are replacing old industrial sites with a mixture of homes and businesses; developers who want honest work today say it's located near an entire economic corridor (the State of Georgia, at least). The location of the place is just off the moving icon of Lee Valley Corridor. There's a lot of green in the city, and the area is residential.

Transport's very convenient around here. Nearby train stations run direct into central London- quick trains to Liverpool Street mean that the area's probably quite suitable for people commuting into either do business or have work done. Linking all with a map, transport, public space, and parks occupy close quarters of the city.

Masterplan scale and residential structure

This program is part of an even larger arrangement made possible in part by the height to which buildings can go under London rules. Almost 1,000 homes are being put up in separate units. The different levels and distributions of these buildings create a village where nobody's more than three or four minutes away from common green areas. Different types and sizes of flats are available here, Thorn Mace CoHiung.

It is being built in phases, but it is expected to finish by the end of 2027. This allows for roads and parks as people move in. So it's like buying into a neighbourhood that's growing, not just a residence, and plans for the future have already been taken care of.

Residential environment and shared amenities

These apartments are designed to be practical - they have balconies and common areas where people can mix while keeping some distance from each other. Just inside, they're ensured that all living rooms should be practical, so that all movements can be finished by resting your hand against the wall. And what with corner working being what everyone wants, therefore, there is no wasted space. In the London area today, people also want to live in their homes.

The project has gardens, walking trails along the river, cafes, gathering spots, and co-working spaces. So near a parkland, people are encouraged to leave their homes, and the locality is a better place for them. Pictures include ones that show the modern look of the buildings, as well as how they relate to the public. They are all different functions that have come into existence separately, instead of being enclosed.

Market positioning and ownership perspective

North London's homes here are not too expensive by central London standards, so wage-earners can find affordable housing around them (despite being down on their luck). Prices are set in part according to how large an apartment is, and a single sees what one's getting for the money you put down; how convenient and compact to get around it all is, too, and potentially the neighborhood in which people will live over time.

In terms of value for money, this project offers the potential purchaser in North London reasonable prices as well as infrastructure investment and a forward plan. It is backed by the local council and designed to provide a stable life for decades to come - there is no need to worry about market conditions changing or markets being at large.
