Landsec has secured planning consent for the phased redevelopment of the 1970s-built Lewisham Shopping Centre in Lewisham.
The redeveloped centre will provide the same amount of retail space as it currently offers in addition to 1,700 new homes (20% affordable), 660 student beds and 445 co-living residences.
Landsec’s plans also include a permanent home for Lewisham’s Model Market and a 500-capacity culture, music and arts venue. Almost half of the 17-acre site is set to become new public green space, including three new squares.
Mike Hood, COO of Landsec said: “This is an exciting moment for the future of Lewisham’s town centre. These plans provide much-needed homes, community spaces and facilities that will enhance urban life for generations, while delivering sustainable returns that support our ambition for long-term growth.”
