Scrubs Lane

Residential Development, Scrubs Lane, Willesden

Contemporary mixed-use development. It comes as part of a broader regeneration plan in the Old Oak and Park Royal Opportunity Area, one of the largest redevelopment areas in the capital. Apartments for sale in this eye-catching development offer fashionable residential living in a Zone 2 locale that will see significant long-term expansion from the boost of large-scale infrastructure investment.

The new residential building will have about 85 apartments, which will be housed inside a structure of around twenty floors. Houses are offered in one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations to cater to varying residential needs. Prices from around £399,000, depending on the size of the apartment. The project also creeps commercial premises, community facilities, and a nursery into the mix — designing for mixed-use is key to enabling day-to-day life.

Architecture and Residential Design

The development has been designed by architectural practice Stiff + Trevillion, whose design ethos emphasizes modern urban living with habitable, active communal spaces. The building features a contemporary facade and site residential plans to optimise natural daylight and give functional interior spaces.

Many of the apartments have private balconies, which also extend living space outdoors and offer views across the surrounding neighbourhood. Since the scheme is a mixed-use development that combines residential accommodation with commercial and community uses, this also enhances the overall urban experience for residents who have access to the necessary services and facilities that are found within the same complex.

Community Infrastructure and Regeneration Context

Scrubs Lane is located at the north-eastern gateway to the Old Oak and Park Royal Opportunity Area, a 650-ha regeneration area set out in plans to provide around 25,500 new homes and approximately 65,000 jobs. He said the project had been worked up in partnership with several public institutions, such as the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation and the Greater London Authority.

The development will include around 35 per cent affordable housing, including homes available via the London Living Rent and Shared Ownership programmes. The scheme also includes re-provision of a church nursery and additional community facilities, catering to the existing local community whilst introducing new residential offerings.
