The potential catchment population however extends to around 2 million people. This is the anticipated catchment uplift the area might experience because of the future re-generation in the area. Croydon is projected to see significantly above average population growth over the period 2016-2020. In a paper produced by Croydon Council they earmark it as a ‘growth borough’ forecasting this as the main driver for growth in South London in the period to 2031. The estimated shopping population is 448,000, which is above the average for the Sub Regional Centres. The population is youthful; there is a particularly high proportion of adults aged 25-44 and children aged 0-14 are also over-represented. In contrast, older working age adults aged 45-64 and the retired aged 65 and over are notably under-represented. ECONOMY Croydon has a strong history as a commercial location. Around 60% of Croydon’s GDP is made up by the service sector with thousands of government workers having been based in the 866,000 1,100,000 448,000 town for several years now. Within the finance sector,Barclays Financial and Insurance IN PRIMARY ECONOMICALLY ESTIMATED Services, Allianz and AIG have major offices while other notable employers includeArcadis , CATCHMENT ACTIVE WITHIN SHOPPING The Body Shop, WH Smith, EDF Energy and Superdrug who all have headquarters here. AREA 30 MINS POPULATION Extensive efforts by the local council, along with Government backing, have helped raise Croydon’s profile as a growth area for the future.

It sets out what residents said they appreciate about living at Saffron Square and what they think could be improved; it assesses the quality of design and management of the scheme; and it offers some recommendations for the future of Saffron Square and for similar developments elsewhere. The place Saffron Square is a dramatic addition to the drab cityscape of central Croydon. It consists of five podium blocks (now occupied) around a triangular landscaped plaza, as well as a striking 43-storey purple-clad tower (exterior complete but as yet unoccupied) that is visible from several miles away. The location is exceptionally good for transport, sitting almost equidistant from East and West Croydon stations and next to the tram and bus routes on busy Wellesley Road.

  • 7 Altyre Rd, Croydon, Cr9 5Aa Croydon Park Hotel Croydon Park Hotel
    7 ALTYRE RD, CROYDON, CR9 5AA CROYDON PARK HOTEL CROYDON PARK HOTEL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Exceptional opportunity to purchase a prime freehold hotel in the centre of Croydon’s Commercial District. Substantial 137,000 sq. ft. full-service hotel with 211 guestrooms, car parking, food and beverage facilities, conferencing and event space and fitness and leisure facilities set on a1.54 acre site. The purpose-built Hotel opened in 1984 and was previously operated under an international hotel brand before operating independently until the hotel’s closure in 2020. Available with vacant possession, unencumbered by brand, franchise or management, providing optimal operational and development flexibility with substantial potential to increase value. Prime town centre location in the heart of Croydon in close proximity to East Croydon station, one of London’s busiest stations with 25 million passengers in 2019. Croydon has benefitted from significant recent investment and is set to benefit from further significant investment to regenerate the town centre. Croydon’s strategic position and excellent transport links make the town attractive to key corporate occupiers that have established Croydon as a premier business location in south London. Extensive asset management opportunities including: hotel repositioning; extension of the existing property; or redevelopment of the site to increase the massing and change of use (subject to obtaining the necessary planning and all other consents) to potentially superior alternative use values. The Hotel is situated in the Croydon Metropolitan Centre, the Croydon Opportunity Area and the ‘Edge Area’ for tall buildings, all of which are supportive in principle for additional massing on the site and for alternative uses, potentially unlocking more accretive development proposals.

  • Welcome Welcome
    WELCOME Welcome to the Croydon Partnership’s public consultation. The aim of this exhibition is to provide you with an update on our plans to redevelop the Whitgift Centre and former Allders store, as well as highlighting the newly proposed improvements to the scheme. These will be captured as part of a revised outline planning application which is due to be submitted later this Summer. We are sharing our plans with you now so that your comments and feedback can be considered as the proposals are refined. Our ultimate goal remains to create an exceptional shopping and leisure destination together with new homes, which will be the centrepiece to the wider regeneration of Croydon, creating over 5,000 new jobs and attracting significant numbers of people and investment back into the town. We hope you find this exhibition useful and informative. Members of the team are here today and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. The Croydon Partnership Formed in January 2013, the Croydon Partnership is the joint venture between Westfield and Hammerson, two of the world’s leading developers and managers of shopping and leisure destinations. The two companies have combined their experience and expertise to commit to a £1.4 billion investment in the redevelopment of Croydon’s retail centre. The Croydon Partnership currently owns and manages both Whitgift and Centrale shopping centres. This means that many of the existing shops in Whitgift can move into Centrale during the redevelopment; ensuring that Croydon town centre remains a popular shopping destination throughout the building of the new scheme.
