Development

Western core

Wembley City has a long history and a bright future. Work is currently focused on the 2 million sq ft ‘Western Core’, which will be complete in September 2013.

Already in place are the first 500 homes, ranging from studio apartments through to three bedroom duplexes with stunning roof terraces overlooking the Stadium.

Work is well underway on the 660-bedroom student accommodation building and 361-bedroom 4* Hilton Hotel, which will feature a Sky Bar on the top two floors with views across Wembley and Arena Square. This brand new, state of the art hotel will be up and running in time for the London Olympics in 2012 and the student accommodation building will open in time for the 2012/13 academic year.

Late in 2011, construction of the only designer shopping outlet within the M25 will begin. This 350,000 sq ft retail and leisure hub will open in September 2013 and is located next to the new hotel and homes. It will offer high quality restaurants, bars and a nine screen cinema alongside superb designer and high street brand names at exceptional prices.

Phase Two

Plans are now being developed for the second phase of development around Brent Council’s new Town Hall, which is being constructed next to Wembley Arena.

Proposals for 1.8 million sq ft of further development, comprising homes, high street shopping and plenty of green space, were submitted to the Council in November 2010 for consideration for outline planning consent and a decision is expected during the summer of 2011.
