The Brentford Project

The 4.79-hectare waterside site in the London Borough of Hounslow holds remarkable potential and our plan for the site is accordingly ambitious, incorporating 112,000 sq m (GEA) of floor space across eleven buildings. Combining residential, retail, employment, community and leisure uses, The Brentford Project includes approximately 14,000 sq m of new retail, as well as leisure and commercial opportunities, and a gym / leisure centre. Retaining several heritage buildings and thoroughfares, the project offers a sensitive and inspiring interplay of old and new that injects new energy into a wonderful stretch of waterside London - with architecture by renowned practice, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, alongside Stirling Prize-recognised architects, Glenn Howells Architects and MaccreanorLavington.

When you examine all the factors that make a location the ideal place to settle, it’s no surprise that West London is so popular with families and businesses alike. If you’re based in Brentford you’re just 15 minutes from Heathrow airport. The proximity of the airport and other transport hubs has also sparked a growth in the employer base and fuelled a diverse economy led by some of the world’s most successful businesses and brands – Sony, Sky, Sega, Avon, GSK and Mitsubishi among them.

It’s a powerhouse of education, with schools and universities delivering learning and development at the very highest standards. And all this is prompting investment in local communities and infrastructure, with Chiswick Park being one of the most noteworthy and defining schemes of recent times.

The Brentford Project situated at the meeting point of the River Thames and River Brent, surrounded by Kew, Chiswick, Ealing and Richmond. Brentford is away from the rush, yet directly connected to the City and wider world, with Brentford Station just 5 minutes away. Within view of the River Thames and on London’s doorstep, this is a place to make a home, with a mix of urban and rural escape.

Locally are many of the world’s most successful music, entertainment and leisure brands, as well as a thriving new generation of emerging enterprises. To the south and west are wide open, wild spaces rich in natural life. The re-discovery of this hidden gem sees the Yards and Lanes of this proud West London town re-established, and the water’s edge brought back to life.

A revitalised high street will incorporate all the amenities desired for modern living, with a selection of market-leading retailers, alongside a major supermarket, boutique cinema and traditional shops including a bakery, greengrocer and butcher. Meanwhile, a series of characterful yards and lanes have been designed to seamlessly reconnect the high street with the waterfront. The passageways of the lanes will be dedicated to supporting emerging local businesses, home to a variety of boutiques, independent retailers, artisans, craftspeople and budding entrepreneurs.

Down by the water, thoughtful public realm and an eclectic range of restaurants, cafés and pubs will line the frontage, creating a dynamic culinary offering. Extensions to the Thames path will open up new walking routes along the water’s edge.

The Brentford Project will also bring a host of community spaces, in particular with the transformation of the Grade II Listed St Lawrence’s Church – a forgotten masterpiece originally designed by renowned Brentford architect, Thomas Hardwick. A hidden gem which dates back to the 15th Century, the church, with its dramatic vaulted ceiling, wooden arcading and striking rows of arches, is set to become a new focal point for Brentford as a cultural and foodie hub – designed to host a series of pop-ups, events and shows.

Chiswick Park, a short way to the north east of The Brentford Project, continues to be one of the most exciting business developments in West London. In an area already acknowledged as an ideal destination for both local and global enterprises, it has established itself as a serious creative hub with CBS, Vue International, Paramount, Discovery, Pokémon, The Walt Disney Company and IMG among the list of residents.

Set in 33 acres of landscaped gardens including a lake and a waterfall, its twelve buildings are the workplace of some 9,000 people and its 1.8 million sq ft of award winning accommodation are complemented by an on-site gym, convenience stores and plenty of places to eat, drink and unwind.

Re-connecting the waterside with Brentford’s bustling high street is an important outcome of The Brentford Project. A wide ranging initiative, it has been conceived to celebrate the creative diversity of the town with new venues and spaces that will establish a bold platform for the arts, live music and food. It’s a development that will improve and enhance the lives of residents and visitors alike by establishing a new residential quarter, a vibrant dining, entertainment and retail scene and an exciting new facet of this proud West London community.
