Quintain Estates and Development PLC has been granted detailed planning permission by the London Borough of Brent, for a major 615,192 sq ft mixed-use building at Wembley.
This is the fifth major detailed planning consent obtained by the Company for its 6.3 million sq ft development. The new 10storey building will adjoin Wembley Arena and face Wembley Stadium. It will combine a 441 bed Hilton International Hotel, including a business centre, function suite and health club, a 656 bed student halls of residence and five affordable housing units. In addition there will be 86,080 sq ft of retail space including food and drink outlets, as well as elements of the planned 150,000 sq ft designer outlet space, parking for 226 vehicles and 398 bicycles, and communal landscaped areas and open space. Nick Shattock, deputy chief executive of Quintain, said: "Another major detailed consent, our fifth, takes us further forward in delivering a dynamic fusion of retail, entertainment and living at Wembley. A luxury hotel will play a vital part in serving Arena and Stadium visitors, as well as reinforcing Wembley's conferencing credentials. The student accommodation will ensure the scheme quickly becomes populated and also reflects the synergies inherent between Quintain's development and Fund Management businesses." Construction is planned to commence in late 2007, with completion due for the summer of 2010. The current estimated GDV of the combined building is £230m.
