Wates Residential Scheme to Bring New Homes to Wembley

7/6/23

A £100 million scheme will see 304 new homes built in Wembley across two sites. Wates has signed the development deal with London's Brent Council, which will deliver a mix of affordable and private sale homes.

250 of the homes will be located on a former school site east of Cecil Avenue. The remaining builds will be opposite the site and will include workspace units and a roadside cafe.

Both sites will offer a combination of council tenant and middle-income homes, with 152 houses built on each. Cecil Avenue will feature builds from five to nine-storeys with options available up to four beds. It will also offer commercial units and community amenities.

Nick Williams, Wates Residential Regional Managing Director, said: "We will be working with the local community to deliver these mixed-tenure homes. This means employing the services of local businesses and people along the way to help regenerate the area and inspire a new community."

The scheme is partly funded by the Mayor of London and aims to increase job, leisure, retail, and housing opportunities in the area. The area will also see improved accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists.
