Wembley Link

Wembley Link Phase 1

This strategic site in the heart of Wembley Central was previously closed off to the community. We worked with architects Maccreanor Lavington and social impact investment fund manager Bridges Fund Management to turn this into a living and inviting place, with 239 rental apartments and ground floor space returned to the public realm.

Key facts

• 239 apartments to rent.
• Two buildings, 26 and 21 storeys.
• New public square and community centre.
• Designed by Maccreanor Lavington.
• Completed April 2020.
• Operated by UNCLE.

Impact

The site has been transformed, with 68 apartments available at discount market rent, and a new public square and community centre, and it’s now a significant and valuable neighbourhood asset.

Project highlight

The whole of the ground floor area has been opened up for public realm, community use and retail.

Wembley Link Phase 2

This phase adds to our Wembley Link scheme, bringing extensive new gardens to the recently delivered Phase 1 public realm.  Glenn Howells Architects have designed the second phase which is creating 256 more build to rent homes.

Key facts

• 256 homes to rent.
• 19.5% affordable housing.
• A key site within Wembley Housing Zone.
• Designed by Glenn Howells Architects.
• Funding partner Bridges Fund Management.
• On site.
• To be operated by UNCLE.

Impact

As the name suggests, Wembley Link will provide a coherent physical and community connection between other new developments in Wembley town centre and Wembley Park.
