A development in Kidbrooke will deliver more than 600 new homes, along with a new village square with new shops and green walkways. 

Kidbrooke Station Square, which has been designed by Glenn Howells Architects, will be built on a vacant 1.6-hectare (four-acre) brownfield site in the Royal Borough of Greenwich and will deliver 619 new homes across eight buildings. The new homes will be a mixture of one, two and three-bedroom properties. 

The project will also bring an improved transportation hub and 2,200 square meters of non-residential space, such as a new nursery. Network Rail currently owns approximately 26 percent of the land on the site in Kidbrooke and has granted a long leasehold interest to facilitate the improved transportation hub.

Kidbrooke Partnership LLP, a joint venture between Notting Hill Genesis and Transport for London (TfL) – has secured a £12.7 million (US$ 17.5 milion) Green Development Loan from HSBC UK to deliver the scheme.

The first part of the project includes 413 London Affordable Rent, shared ownership and private sale apartments. In total, 619 homes will be built as part of the development, with 50 percent affordable housing.

Phase one of the project will start in June 2021, with project completion expected in 2027.
