Outpost Management’s Enclave: Acton Co-living Scheme Tops Out
12/11/24
Residential focused real estate asset management firm – Outpost Management – have reached a construction milestone, topping out at its Enclave: Acton co-living development. The building is West London's tallest volumetric development, standing at 106 metres.
The 32-storey, 220,000sqft residential-led, mixed-use scheme will deliver 462 co-living apartments alongside 18,000sqft of amenity space across five floors.
Amenities at Enclave: Acton will include a spa, bar lounge, private dining and co-working spaces, a library, gym, cinema, karaoke room, sports simulation suite, basketball court, games lounge and a 2,000sqft landscaped roof terrace on the 32nd floor, offering extensive views across London.
Troy Tomasik, CEO, Outpost Management, said: "We're excited to see Enclave: Acton taking shape so quickly and proud to have reached this important construction milestone on West London's tallest volumetric modular building and highest quality co-living asset.
"We're looking forward to opening next summer, with a fantastic amenity offer, equipping residents to be productive, healthy, and social aligned with our concept to deliver effortless living. We can't wait to welcome them to their new homes."
Designed by developer-contractor Tide Construction, in conjunction with HTA, Enclave: Acton will open ahead of programme in summer 2025. Outpost Management acquired The Castle site earlier this year to deliver the Enclave: Acton scheme.
Christy Hayes, Chief Executive, Tide and Vision, said: "The Castle exemplifies the transformative potential of volumetric construction in addressing the UK's housing needs. It enables the efficient development of high-quality homes delivering them with speed, scale, and the precision of factory production.
"We are delighted to mark this milestone in our partnership with BlackRock Real Estate and Outpost Management, following their acquisition of The Castle earlier this year.
"This follows on from the successful collaboration of the 817 bedroom co-living development Enclave: Croydon in 2023."
Tide is delivering the scheme using its offsite manufacturing arm, Vision. Enclave: Acton demonstrates the ongoing market appetite for Tide and Vision's volumetric technology, delivering up to 50% faster construction times.
It also aims to significantly reduce embodied carbon and vastly reduce the disruption to the community.
James Halstead, CIO European Value-Add real estate, BlackRock, said: "Reaching this milestone so rapidly underscores the programme benefits of volumetric construction.
"We're excited to be investing in the delivery of much-needed housing in a more sustainable manner.
