City North

Case Study Details

  • Client: United House City North (a joint venture between United House and City North Islington)
  • Contract Duration: 2013 -2016
  • Contract Value: £160m (GDV)

Description

 

City North is a mixed-use development of residential apartments and commercial units. The scheme includes the construction of two 23 storey towers to the south and north of the site, with a 12 storey terrace building linking the two towers, and a three storey residential block adjacent to Wells Terrace.

The development will comprise 308 one to four bedroom private apartments, 47 affordable homes and 116,000 sq ft of retail, restaurant leisure and office space.

The site is currently an existing trading estate next to Finsbury Park mainline and underground stations and is owned by City North Islington Holdings, whose owners also own and operate the Business Design Centre trade, exhibition and conference venue in Islington.

The existing buildings will be demolished and the site developed by United House, in partnership with City North Islington. United House will act as joint developer and contractor to create the new landmark development designed by award-winning architects Benson & Forsyth. The project will be the largest regeneration scheme undertaken in Islington since Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.

Finsbury Park Station is the busiest transport hub outside of Zone 1 and the proposed high quality landmark scheme will act as a gateway for the area. The development will deliver a diverse mix of uses which will increase the vibrancy and vitality of Finsbury Park and act as a catalyst for wider regeneration.

United House has an outstanding track record for working in partnership with the private and public sectors to deliver complex regeneration sites in London. City North will benefit the local community by bringing much-needed new homes, business investment, employment and economic growth to what will become one of London’s most exciting and vibrant areas.
