Article posted: 28 Mar 2011

Workspace, a leading provider of flexible office space in London for SMEs, has obtained planning consent for the £80m scheme which forms a significant part of the Wandsworth Town Centre regeneration proposals.

The two-acre scheme will deliver 209 new apartments, 156 for private sale and 53 which will be managed by Octavia Housing Association, plus 80,000 sq of commercial office space in South West London.

The centre piece of the development will be a 16-storey residential tower, featuring contemporary materials, glazed cladding and communal rooftop gardens. The scheme will also comprise street-facing properties up to six-storeys high in traditional brickwork to complement the surround vernacular.

Mount Anvil will be responsible for the residential element of the project, with the first apartments expected to be ready by June 2014. Workspace Group will retain the ownership of the new commercial part of the scheme which will be opened in July 2014.

Angus Boag, Development Director, Workspace Group, said: “The provision of a new Business Centre in Wandsworth will enhance out portfolio and make a significant contribution to economic activity in this part of the Borough. This is the first of a number of similar consented developments owned by Workspace that will be progressed over the next 3 years with further planning applications in the pipeline.”
