Greystar has received final approval from Croydon Council to deliver more than 800 new homes at the One Lansdowne development.
The development, which will be located at 1–5 Lansdowne Road and 30–32 Wellesley Road, will transform a long vacant site near East Croydon station into a mixed-use community providing 806 new build-to-rent homes, including 116 affordable homes and 92 three-bedroom family homes, alongside co-working space, shops and new public area.
Set across two buildings designed by HTA Design, the development will feature on-site amenities such as a gym, concierge and rooftop gardens.
Jason Perry, executive mayor of Croydon, said: “The One Lansdowne development shows how by working in partnership with developers, we can open up vacant brownfield sites and deliver the new homes that Croydon needs. We welcome the benefits it will bring to the town centre, with the children’s play area, green spaces and improved connectivity from East Croydon to the town centre. Developments such as this are what my Croydon Growth Plan is all about – attracting new investment into the borough and realising Croydon’s potential as London’s key growth area.”
Dan Thompson, managing director – UK development at Greystar, added: “This approval marks another important milestone for One Lansdowne, bringing forward much-needed new homes for Croydon at a time when demand for high quality, professionally managed rental housing continues to rise. The project will transform a long vacant site into a neighbourhood where people can live well, stay longer and feel part of a connected community. Our integrated approach – bringing investment, development and operations together under one roof – allows us to deliver efficiently and with care, even in a challenging market.”
