Lovell has been appointed by Barnet Council to lead the regeneration of an estate in Colindale, north London.
The project, which covers the north east part of Grahame Park Estate, involves the demolition of an existing estate of 290 homes and the construction on the site of 476 homes.
The total number of units which was proposed in Lovell’s tender was a reduction from the 505 units set out in the original May 2022 design. The change was made to enable an increase in larger family homes.
The estate was built in the 1960s and 1970s and the first phase of the scheme, which has been brought forward by Notting Hill Genesis, has already been built.
Lovell will deliver a multi-phase redevelopment as part of a joint venture with the local authority.
The project will be managed by Barnet Homes, the arms-length management organisation which is responsible for the management of council homes in Barnet.
The organisation will also manage the homes built for affordable rent.
Barnet’s cabinet member for homes and regeneration, Cllr Ross Houston, said: “In Barnet we care for our people and our places, and this redevelopment will help deliver much-needed housing and particularly homes for social rent in the borough.
“There is a national homelessness crisis and in Barnet there are currently 2,700 households residents currently in costly temporary accommodation.
Mary Parsons, regeneration and partnerships director for Lovell, added: “It is not only the delivery of much needed new homes at scale and pace within an already ambitious regeneration programme, but the chance to work with the local community, partners and groups to ensure we create real opportunities for education, employment and local enterprise.
“We know that we will only achieve this through genuine partnership working, and we are looking forward to working closely with colleagues from Barnet Council, Barnet Homes and the wider team to make it happen.”
