Southall Waterside is now known as The Green Quarter. The new name was inspired by the park areas created within the development.
Berkeley reports good progress with its first phase of the new park, which will include a new playground inspired by the site's industrial past, an impressive water feature which will flow the length of the park and a new amphitheatre to host open-air events.
On completion, the new park will have over 250 new trees and stretch 500m in length, providing 1.8 hectares of newly-accessible open space for the local area - the equivalent size to four football pitches.
On completion, The Green Quarter will be home to 13 acres of new green space, connecting local communities and encouraging outdoor living. The new name reflects this vision and highlights the fantastic open space and an ambitious approach to nature recovery.
The Green Quarter will provide 3,750 mixed-tenure homes and new amenities to benefit the local area. The first phase of private homes for sale will be launched later this year.
Ashley Kensington, Managing Director at Berkeley West Thames, commented: "Through the new parklands being delivered at The Green Quarter, we're more than doubling the accessible open space in the Southall Broadway ward. The new park is for everyone in Southall, Hayes and the local area to enjoy, and opening it early next year will be an important milestone in The Green Quarter moving from concept to reality.
"The Green Quarter is a remarkable development with nature and greenery at its heart. Construction of the new park is really coming along, but we're also making good progress with the new homes and we can't wait to launch our first phase of residential sales soon."
The Green Quarter is already well underway. Some 304 new affordable homes have been delivered in partnership with Catalyst Housing Association and Clarion Housing Association.
