A major milestone has been reached on Quintain and McLaren's new development at Wembley Park.

The companies celebrating the topping out of the site today, 14 November, as the last beam was placed on top. 


Plot W06, located opposite the London Designer Outlet, is made up of two buildings, including the first of four new grade A commercial buildings to be brought forward as part of the masterplan at Wembley Park, and 150 brand new rental homes. 


The office block will include eight floors of open plan commercial space, as well as views of the Wembley Stadium Arch and mixed retail at ground level.


The project also includes the latest set of build-to-rent homes being brought forward as part of Quintain's commitment to deliver 7,500 new homes at Wembley Park. With 150 build-to-rent apartments across 10 floors, the block will also include a roof terrace, workspace and a dedicated coffee shop, as well as state of the art living facilities. The project will include 35 affordable homes, managed by the London Borough of Brent.

John Butten, Regional Managing Director – Major Projects at McLaren, said: "We are pleased to celebrate the topping out of our third building at Wembley Park with Quintain and Brent Council today. Linking in with the communities where we work is key for McLaren and we look forward to developing long‐term relationships within Brent.

"25 per cent of the employees on the two sites are Brent locals and it is wonderful that McLaren has been able to contribute to so many community engagement initiatives in Wembley Park."

Matt Voyce, Executive Director of Construction at Quintain, added: "We're thrilled to be able to mark this occasion, alongside Brent and McLaren. We're proud to work with considerate construction partners like McLaren to deliver these landmark buildings, including our first dedicated commercial office building as part of our masterplan for Wembley Park. This is a significant moment for Quintain in the delivery and transportation of this 85 acre area development."

The office building is set to be completed in summer 2019 with the residential building expected in February 2020.
