The King’s Cross Group has renewed its strategic partnership with North London Foundation Trust (NLFT) to acquire part of the St Pancras Hospital site in Camden.
The King’s Cross Group will work with NLFT over the coming months to bring forward updated proposals that unlock the full potential of the St Pancras Hospital site for the local community.
These proposals include new homes, public spaces and employment opportunities, including jobs in healthcare and construction. NLFT will retain the South Wing of the hospital, ensuring that valuable healthcare services remain in place.
Leo Shapland, CEO of The King’s Cross Group, said: “This agreement signals our renewed investment at the St Pancras Hospital site and in the wider King’s Cross Knowledge Quarter. St Pancras Hospital represents a key site in Camden for high quality, local health services, alongside other lasting benefits for the community. Our partnership with North London Foundation Trust provides an exciting opportunity for us to shape another of London’s exciting regeneration projects, working closely with Camden Council and other key stakeholders.
“In the months ahead, we will share updated plans that build on this renewed partnership with NLFT and we look forward to engaging with the community and other decision makers to unlock the potential of this important site for generations to come.”
Jinjer Kandola MBE, chief executive of North London NHS Foundation Trust, added: “This agreement marks an important next step for the St Pancras Hospital site. The programme has already allowed us to transform NHS mental health facilities in North London at Lowther Road Holloway and in Highgate. Our agreement with The King’s Cross Group will unlock further investment funding. We are looking forward to continuing our presence on the St Pancras Hospital site, which is set to become a welcoming, health-oriented space for everyone in the area to enjoy.”
Related Argent will continue to act as the development manager on the St Pancras Hospital scheme.
